5 PREFACE This publication on CARICOM s Trade in Selected Agricultural Commodities , is the second publication of its kind, the first being published in The publication seeks to provide information to users on Trade in Agricultural Commodities by the Major Headings of the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) as well as information on selected commodity details. Unlike the 1998 publication that provided information for a standard set of selected agricultural commodities across Member States, the current publication focuses on the top five agricultural commodities by Member States for the latest year, The significance of this approach is that the utilization of a standard set of commodities that are considered to be important at the CARICOM level may mask those commodities that are of importance in the individual Member States. The publication is a useful source of information for historical analysis of the agricultural sector of the CARICOM Region. The publication is divided into four Sections. Section 1 provides information on CARICOM s Imports of Agricultural Commodities by the Major Headings of the SITC and on the value and the percentage distribution of the top five Agricultural Imports from all sources for each Member State. Section 2 provides information on the top five Agricultural Imports from all sources for each Member State by Country of Origin. Section 3 provides information on CARICOM s Domestic Exports of Agricultural Commodities by Major Headings of the SITC and on the value and the percentage distribution of the top five Agricultural Domestic Exports to all destinations for each Member State. Section 4 follows with similar information to Section 2 but on Agricultural Domestic Exports by Country of Destination. The data presented in this report were extracted from the Merchandise Trade Statistics submitted to the CARICOM Secretariat by the National Statistical Offices of Member States. It should be noted that data were not always available for all Member States for specific years of the period 2000 to The incomplete nature of the trade data therefore poses some limitations to the analysis and interpretation of the information presented as well as to the lack of timeliness in the production of this regional report. Further details or clarifications on this report are available from the Statistics Sub-Programme of the CARICOM Secretariat. The Secretariat welcomes comments on the data presented in this report as well as any suggestions for the improvement of future publications of this kind. iii
6 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The CARICOM Secretariat expresses its sincere thanks to the National Statistical Offices in Member States for supplying the data used to compile this report. The Secretariat also thanks the staff of its Statistics Sub-Programme for compiling and preparing this report. iv
7 GENERAL NOTES 1. The CARICOM totals for each year exclude the countries for which data are not available which would affect the comparability of the data over the period For imports, data for Antigua and Barbuda is not available for the years 2001 to For Domestic Exports data are not available for Antigua and Barbuda for the years 2001 to 2003 and for Suriname for the entire period under review. 3. Over the period under review, Member State s agricultural domestic exports accounted for almost all of their agricultural exports, re-exports being minimal, except for Antigua and Barbuda and Montserrat. For the year, 2000 Antigua and Barbuda s agricultural domestic exports accounted for 58.8 per cent of its agricultural exports while for Montserrat, agricultural domestic exports accounted for 76.2 per cent, 10.9 per cent and 59.2 per cent of its agricultural exports in 2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively. This report focuses on the Member States agricultural domestic exports instead of their total agricultural exports. 4. The top five commodities are based on the year, Because of its all inclusiveness, the commodity, other food preparations not elsewhere specified or included generally constitutes the top category. The analysis focuses mainly on highlighting the contribution of commodities other than this all inclusive category. This approach applies to the analysis in all sections of this report. 6. In this report, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) excludes data for the Bahamas and refers only to countries of the Caribbean Common Market (now transformed to CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME)). The Bahamas is not part of the Caribbean Common Market. 7. The term MDC, as stated in Article 4 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas Establishing the Caribbean Community including the CARICOM Single Market and Economy, refers to More Developed Countries namely Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. The other Member States were designated as Less Developed Countries (LDC) according to the Revised Treaty. v

27 AN OVERVIEW OF CARICOM s TOTAL AGRICULTURAL IMPORTS 1 CARICOM Over the period, , CARICOM s total agricultural imports moved from EC$4.4 Bn (US$1.6 Bn) in 2000 to EC$4.7 Bn (US$1.7 Bn) in 2003 contributing on average to 15.3 percent of total imports from all sources over the period. Food and live animals was the highest contributor to total agricultural imports with EC$3.5 Bn (US$1.3 Bn) in 2000 and EC$3.7 Bn (US$1.4 Bn) in 2003, accounting on average for 12.1 per cent of total imports from all sources over the period. Food accounted for almost all of the imports of the section, food and live animals and on average represented approximately 79.0 per cent of CARICOM s total agricultural imports over the period. The section, Beverages and Tobacco was the next highest category with an average of 1.4 per cent of total imports over the period (Tobacco on average accounted for 1.2 per cent). In 2003, imports of Food (excluding live animals) and Beverages comprised EC$4.1 Bn (US$1.5 Bn) or 12.9 per cent of total imports from all sources. Some of the major imports at the division level in 2003 were cereals and cereal preparations (EC$777.4 Mn), vegetables and fruit (EC$572.7 Mn), dairy products and eggs (EC$508.4 Mn), meat and meat preparations (EC$431.4 Mn). These divisions collectively represented 7.3 per cent of CARICOM s total imports from all sources (Table 1.1). Figure 1.1: Value of CARICOM's Agricultural Imports and Total Imports: EC Billion Dollars Years Total Imports Agricultural Imports 1 Because of its all inclusiveness, the commodity, other food preparations not elsewhere specified or included generally constitutes the top category. The analysis focuses mainly on highlighting the contribution of commodities other than this all inclusive category. This approach applies to the analysis in all sections of this report. 3
