Because of the very great interest in the destinations and origins of agricultural products exported from or imported into the United States, a special tabulation of the values of domestic exports and imports for con¬ sumption is published in this special foreign trade report. In addition to the statistics of over-all values by countries of destination and origin, which are shown in tables 1 and 2, there are included statistics of the principal agricultural products making up this foreign trade. These are shown in tables 3 and 4- The detailed statistics relate to the calendar year 1952 only, i.e., comparable figures for earlier years by country and by com¬ modity are not shown in detail. Included with the text, however, are statis¬ tics for earlier years for some of the major countries of destination and origin with sub-totals of principal commodity groups.
