| Definition
The detailed food and agriculture trade data collected, processed and disseminated by FAO according to the standard International Merchandise Trade Statistics Methodology is mainly provided by the national authorities and other international organizations. The total merchandise trade value by country is annually updated according to the national publications on Balance of Payment and trade statistics and harmonised with the consolidated figures disseminated by the Inter-Agency Common Data Set (CDS) on Total Merchandise Trade Statistics by countries. Export - Import inconsistencies: While FAO does adjust/modify some official figures where there are evident inconsistencies (such as data entry errors, or out-of-trend unit value variations) the trade flow data are unreconciled. That is, a user may find that what country A officially declares as imports from country B will not correspond to what country B officially, and reciprocally, declares as its exports to country A, for a given commodity in a given year (in terms of quantity and/or value). There are a number of reasons which partly explain this: • Time lag: an export reported in December of a given year could reach destination in January of the following year (and would only then be reported as an import by the country of destination); • Reporting periods: while most countries report on an annual January-December basis, some reporters have different periods (e.g. India is April-March; Pakistan is July-June); • Misclassification of commodities between exporter and importer (e.g. the exporting country records the commodity as 'wheat', while the importing country records that same commodity as 'miscellaneous grains');
