BACKGROUND STATISTICAL DATA 
TO FACILITATE CONSULTATIONS ON  
THE LIST OF "SIGNIFICANT EXPORTERS" 
 
Note by the Secretariat
1 
 
 
1. As requested by the Committee on Agriculture in November 20092, the Secretariat has 
prepared relevant background statistical data in order to facilitate consu ltations on the list of  
Members that are "significant exporters"3.  
2. The Notification Requirements and Formats4 adopted by the Committee on Agriculture in 
1995 define "significant exporters" as Members whose sh are of total world exports in any one or more 
of the products or group of prod ucts covered by the Table ES:2 requirement exceeds 5 per cent.  In 
this context, the adopted notification procedures also require that : 
" A list of Members that are significant expor ters for the purposes of this notification 
requirement and of the products concerned shall be established by the Chairman 
following consultation as appropriate and shall be reviewed after two years.  
Notifications should take the form of Table ES:2 ..."   
Technical notes 
3. The present note contains export statistics for 22 products/product groups organized in tables 
with data on world export volumes and shares in  world exports, except for live animals, fruit and 
vegetables where shares are based on export values .  The statistics cover the Uruguay Round base 
period for export subsidy reduction commitments, i.e. 1986-1990, 1995, as well as the period comprised between 2000 and the most recent year for whic h data are available.  In addition, the charts 
show the world market shares of the leading expor ters for the product/product groups concerned.  
4. In order to provide a more comprehensive picture of the development of shares in world 
exports, all exporters
5 holding a share of at least 0.10 per cent in the last year for which data are 
available are listed and ranked in descending order based on their exports in the most recent year.

to the positions of Members or to their rights or obligations under the WTO.

Agreement on Agriculture ).

  5. The product definition of the statistical data provided in this note does not necessarily match 
the product definitions used by WTO Members fo r the purpose of scheduling their export subsidy 
commitments.  The data are sourced from FAO, th e International Sugar Organization (ISO) or based 
on the reported merchandise statistics from UN Comtrade.  Other sources may produce different results in terms of year-to-year changes of shares in world export volumes/values.  This may be due to 
a variety of reasons, including differences with r espect to product definition, reporting period (e.g. 
calendar year versus marketing year), co nversion factors or the revision of data. 
6. The time period covered is th e base period 1986-1990, 1995 and 2000 until the most recent 
year for which data are available from the sources u sed.  Due to unavailability of comparable data for 
fruit and for vegetables for years 1986 and 1987 from  the UN Comtrade, the base period for these two 
product groups covers only the year s 1988-1990.  As data availability for individual exporters varies 
between reference years, world totals for fru it and for vegetables are estimated based on UN 
Comtrade mirror data.

7. The trade data of the EU as well as the aggregat e exports (referred to as "world" in the tables) 
are exclusive of intra-EU trade.  The data for th e EU from all sources refer to the EU-12 for the base 
period 1986-1990; to the EU-15 for 1995; to the EU-25 as from 2004; and to the EU-27 as from 2007.   
8. The country-specific and commodity-specific explanatory notes which are contained in the 
sources are not reproduced in this note.   
9. The symbols "n.a." and " – " have been used in the tables to denote not available and not 
applicable.  
10. A summary table listing the exporters holding shares above 5 per cent in the last year for 
which data are available in respect of each product/product group is given in Annex I.  
11. Detailed statistical data including export volumes or values from 1986 (1988 for fruit and for 
vegetables) to the last year for which data are available for each of the products/product groups, as 
well as the data contained in the present note, will re main available in Excel format on the Members' 
web site until the consultations referred to  in paragraph 1 above are concluded. 
                                                      
6 The exports by non-reporting countries were  reconstructed on the basis of import data reported by 
their respective partner countries.  G/AG/W/76
