Abstract: Statistics on U.S. agricultural exports to Eastern Europe frequently understate the volume of actual U.S. exports to the region. Due to the large volume of U.S. agricultural exports to Eastern Europe that are transshipped through Canada and Western Europe, there is ample opportunity for the final destinations of these commodities to be obscured. There are several sources of U.S. agricultural export data but because of the transshipments problem each is deficient.
