Data for this table were collected from Global Agriculture Trade Statistics in June 2012. Since data collection, some data may have been revised by USDA/FAS.
N/D=No Data.
* = with exceptions.
**= calculations include Netherlands Antilles.
aFor egg exports, USDA/FAS measures quantities in two ways: 1) by metric ton (for eggs not sold in dozens) and 2) in dozens (for eggs sold in dozens). For consistency with other categories, we include only the quantity of egg exports reported by metric ton.
