Statistical Analysis of Your Top 25 Export Markets

With this new service provided by our Food Export Helpline, you’ll receive:
  • the top 25 export markets for your products on a month-to-month basis. Companies are often surprised to learn that there is excellent potential in some countries they have never considered.
  • past export sales in a market, thus establishing trends and helping with forecasts. The data can follow the ebb and flow of the market as it reacts to currency fluctuations, redistribution strategies, trade agreements, or increased regulation.
  • weight (usually in kilos) compared to value so you can get an average weighted price to the world or individual markets.
The reports are based on your HS classification number, which is known as Schedule B for exports. The Food Export Helpline uses this number to locate trade leads, NAFTA Rules of Origin, and overseas tariff rates in destination markets. If you need help determining your Schedule B, the Food Export Helpline can help with that too!

Here’s a Real Life Example

Here is an example for Schedule B number 1905909030, "Corn Chips and Similar Savory Snacks":

From January through September 2000, there have been nearly 54 million dollars in exports, compared to 46.5 million through the same period last year. This amounts to a very healthy 16% increase.

The top market is Canada at 15.4 million through September 2000. The same period from 1999 reported only 8.7 million. This is a 77% increase and should command immediate attention!

Australia comes in at 6.7 million, which has increased from 5.2 million in 1999. This increase may be due to the Olympics, as many U.S. food products were imported and served. However, it’s still a strong potential market for savory snack food exporters.

Japan follows at 4.5 million. This figure is comparable to last year, which is promising since many food exports to Japan have dropped somewhat this year. The Japanese love our savory snacks so the market has remained constant.

Next comes Mexico at 3.3 million. And then the Philippines at 3.1 million. However, the Philippines shows a decline from 1999 when imports were 4.7 million. Because this is due to the weakness of the Philippine Peso and an uncertain government situation, the market can recover quickly. Thus, savory snack exporters need to keep a close watch on the Philippines.
