data for only part of the commodities under consideration. The Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) provides U.S. trade statistics on quantities and values of all the
fresh and juice commodities in this study. Data on exports of California commodities
are available through the Agricultural Issues Center for the majority of the commodities
in this study. For the few commodities not covered, methods used to determine
California exports will be used to calculate the figures. For example, Brussel sprouts are
