Estimating Californias Agricultural Exports
In 1997, AIC formed a partnership with the California Department
of Food and Agriculture, Agricultural Export Program to develop more
accurate estimates of Californias agricultural exports. This project
was initiated in response to well known problems with existing sources
of state level export statistics and demand for more accurate data. State
export data can be important for analyzing Californias potential
markets, for helping marketing organizations and government agencies develop
strategies, and for understanding foreign economic trends that may affect
domestic markets.
AIC generated a commodity-specific methodology, focusing primarily on
50 California commodities which together account for more than 90% of
the states farm production value. For each of those commodities
AIC used a variety of data sources, combining formal operations and informal
adjustments depending on the commodity and industry. Industry sources
were helpful, either providing explicit export data or guiding us to other
sources.
The first year of the project yielded export data for 1995-1997. Since
then, AIC has updated the data set through 2003 and improved some of its
estimation techniques and revised earlier estimates, based on advice from
industry and academia. Various Issues Briefs provide more information
about the methods and results from this project.
