Germany is the 5th largest economy in the world and one of the world\'s
largest importers of food, agricultural and forestry products. Germany's
total imports of food and agricultural products, amounted to US\$ 54.3
billion in CY 2003, increased by 2.5 percent to a total of US\$ 55.7
billion in CY 2004. About 68.3 percent of total imports, or US\$ 38.1
billion, came from other EU countries. Imports from the United States
were worth US\$ 1.9 billion, or about 3.4 percent of total imports. In
2004, major categories imported from the United States included
soybeans, almonds, raw tobacco, fish/fish products, wood veneers and
panels, wine, and walnuts.

Germany is the 5^th^ largest economy in the world and one of the
world\'s largest importers of food, agricultural and forestry products.
According to German trade statistics, Germany's total imports of food,
agricultural and forestry products, amounted to US\$ 55.7 billion in CY
2004 up 2.5 percent from US \$ 54.3 billion in CY 2003. About 68.3
percent of total imports, or US\$ 38.1 billion, came from other EU
countries. Imports from the United States were worth US\$ 1.9 billion,
or about 3.4 percent of total imports. In 2004, major food, agricultural
and forestry products imported from the United States included soybeans,
almonds, raw tobacco, fish/fishery products, hardwood logs, lumber and
veneers, wine, and walnuts.

The largest growth in value was recorded in imports of U.S. fish/fishery
products with a 48-percent increase from US\$ 104.1 million in CY 2003
to US\$ 154.2 million in CY 2004. Germany is a country traditionally
known for its pork and beef consumption. However, in recent years, fish
and fishery products are enjoying growing popularity in Germany.  The
two most important fishery products the U.S. exports to Germany are
lobster and frozen Alaska Pollock.  Shipments of the latter increased
significantly after a major Germany fish processor decided to source
only groundfish that was frozen on the trawler directly after catch. The
biggest U.S. competitors are China (for Alaska pollock) and Canada (for
lobster).

Germany is the largest export market for U.S. almonds. Since Germany
does not produce significant quantities of tree nuts, supply is met
virtually entirely by imports.   Germany's imports of U.S. almonds
increased by 39-percent from US\$ 145.3 million in CY 2003 to US\$ 201.8
million in CY 2004. German imports of U.S. walnuts also recorded a
strong 75 percent increase to \$56 million dollars in CY 2004. A number
of U.S. associations are actively promoting their products in Germany,
include the Almond Board of California, California Pistachio Commission
and the California Walnut Commission.  The leading competitor for the
United States in the German tree nut market is Turkey. 

Germany is the world\'s largest importer of wine, with imports valued at
\$2.3 billion.  The import figure represents about 54 percent of total
German wine consumption.  Italy, France and Spain are the leading
suppliers of wine to Germany, with a combined import market share of
nearly 75 percent.  U.S. wines together with other \`new-world\' wines
have developed an increasingly good reputation for quality in the German
market.  German imports of U.S. wines were valued at \$77.2 million in
CY 2004. Since an increasing share of U.S. wine is shipped in bulk to
Europe, the export value dropped by 9 percent in CY 2004 versus 2003.

The largest decrease in trade took place in soybeans. Imports from the
United States dropped by 22 percent from US\$ 528.7 million in CY 2003
to US\$ 413.2 million in CY 2004. Soybean and soybean meal imports into
Germany are shrinking as result of the increasing and cheaper
competition from South American suppliers plus a general skepticism on
modern biotechnology. Soybean meal is replaced by an increased use of
rapeseed meal as well as grains and artificially produced vitamins in
feed rations. The increased use of rapeseed meal is a by-product of the
biodiesel boom in Germany. Higher crush for rapeseed oil for biodiesel
production is linked to a higher rapeseed meal production as well, which
displaces some soybean meal use in Germany.

Imports of U.S. tobacco decreased by 17 percent to US\$ 191.3 million
compared to US\$ 230.2 million in the previous calendar year, a result
of lower tobacco consumption and more importantly increased imports of
lower price tobacco from Latin American countries and from Africa.

Note: Differences in recorded trade data may result in discrepancies
between German customs data and trade data from other sources. German
customs data record imports according to country of production or last
processing, as opposed to the country of shipping. For example: U.S.
exports to Germany that are transshipped through the Netherlands are
recorded as imports from the U.S. by German customs, while other sources
might record them as imports from the Netherlands.

Also, imports from other EU member states are only recorded if the
annual value of all imports of that company exceeds Euro 200,000. This
may result in under reporting for commodities that are imported by a
larger number of small companies. All imports from outside the EU are
recorded by customs, irrespective of volume or value.

In recent years, the US\$/Euro exchange rate was as follows:

2002: US\$1 = Euro 1.0575

2003: US\$1 = Euro 0.8840

2004: US\$1 = Euro 0.8051
