Abstract
USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) has developed a new tool to help explore trends in global agriculture from an array of international data. The tool, the International Baseline Visualization, is available on the ERS website. It provides users with access to data for 44 exporting and importing countries and regions in conjunction with USDA’s agricultural commodity and macroeconomic models. The tool includes data for aggregated regional models for which USDA regularly reports, such as “Other Europe” and “Other South America.” The tool not only contains international data, but it also houses domestic data for the United States. Historical and projected data for production, consumption, and trade are available through a custom data query function that allows users to download data by commodity, continent, and region or country.
