Summary
The Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (ERS) provides monthly and yearly data on imports and exports of various farmed animals (livestock) and meat products, such as cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, chicken meat, turkey meat, and eggs. This information is represented in physical quantities rather than monetary values or unit prices. The data for beef, veal, pork, and lamb is based on carcass weight equivalents. Country-specific breakdowns are provided, and historical data is generally available from 1989. The ERS data set is based on data from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, and Foreign Trade Division.
Using a subset of this data, the ADP visualizes the United States’ import and export of live cattle and hogs between 2018 and 2022. This information is presented through a line graph showing trade trends for different countries. The visualizations also breakdown the percentage of imports and exports by country using a pie chart.
