Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information
Comtrade provides commodity trade data for all available countries and areas since 1962. Currently, it contains almost 700 millions records.
Using UN Comtrade, anyone can find information on any commodity from any country, be it banana exports of Ecuador to the main importers of black printing ink, from trade in dried egg yolks or felt hats to railway passenger coaches or spacecraft launch vehicles. It is easy to find the number of pullovers made from animal hair that Mongolia exported to Luxembourg in 2000 (335), or the number of motor vehicles exported by Japan to the United States in 2001 (1.8 million, for a total of almost $31 billion). Also available are larger overviews of imports and exports by country and main categories of commodities, such as food or fuels or machinery.
In addition to the statistical values and quantities of trade, the database includes a rich source of reference information on countries, customs areas and commodities, as well as background information on terms used. The site also provides a number of links to additional sources of trade indicators, and there are plans to extend these in the near future to include macroeconomic indicators.
UN Comtrade not only lets users select the data they are looking for, but they can then view it in a number of different graphic formats. The site also allows small sets of data to be extracted from the database free of charge. Larger data sets -- such as for use in corporate market or product analysis, or academic research work -- can be obtained through an annual subscription. Government offices and universities pay a reduced rate and an additional 50 per cent discount is being provided to a large number of countries, selected on the basis of gross domestic product.
