Overview
While a State's actual agricultural export value cannot be
measured directly, ERS has developed methods that provide indirect
estimates of exports using State export shares. Estimates of annual
U.S. agricultural export values by State and commodity are provided
using two methodologies: Fiscal year (October to September) exports
based on each State's share of U.S. agricultural production, and a
new calendar year series of export estimates based on U.S. farm
cash receipts. The Methodology link on the right provides an
explanation of the two methods, along with comparisons between the
results of the two methods.
ERS is providing estimates using both methods for 2010, but
plans to update and maintain only the new calendar year farm
receipts-based estimates beginning with the 2011 estimates.
The file links 
below
provide the annual State export estimates using the new U.S. farm
receipts-based method for all 50 States for 2000-2010 in two
formats: commodity-wise by State, and State-wise by commodity. The
State export estimates using the U.S. agricultural production-based
method, commodity detail by state for FY1990-2010, and state detail
by commodity for FY1973-2010, are also provided in Excel formats
