GLOBAL AGRICULTURAL TRADE SYSTEM (GATS) |
NOW AVAILABLE |
|
On August 17, 2009 FAS launched the Global Agricultural Trade System (GATS), |
a new robust on-line U.S. Agricultural Trade System that includes many new |
features. GATS incorporates U.S. agricultural trade data including official |
U.S. Trade data (Bureau of the Census), U.S. Customs District trade Data |
and U.S. State trade data into one environment using data visualization, |
data analysis and information integration. |
|
Access the GATS system at "http://www.fas.usda.gov/gats/" or click below |
|
|
|
If you have questions about the new GATS system email GATSHelp@fas.usda.gov |
|
IMPORTANT: Please be advised that in November of 2009 GATS will replace the current |
FAS USTrade internet system. We recommend that you start using and becoming familiar |
with GATS as soon as possible because in mid-November the current system |
will no longer be available |
