Statistics illustrates the import volume of Furniture; parts, of other than wood in El Salvador from 2007 to 2024 by trade partner.
In 2023, El Salvador's strongest trade partner (in import value) was the United States, who led the list of origin countries for merchandise imports in El Salvador, with a total value of over *** billion U.S. dollars. China was the second main origin of Salvadoran imports, at ***** billion dollars, followed by Guatemala, with over ***** billion. The main imported products in El Salvador include petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals.
In 2023, the main exported products from Honduras were coffee and its byproducts, which accounted for a total export value of nearly 1.4 billion U.S. dollars. Bananas and plantains ranked second, at about 685 million dollars, followed by palm oil, with roughly 466 million dollars. Petroleum, on the other hand, was one of the most imported products by Honduras that year, with an import value of about 2.6 billion U.S. dollars. Honduras’s leading trade partners In 2023, the United States was Honduras’s leading trade partner, both in terms of imports and exports, with total approximate trade values of 5.1 billion U.S. dollars for American imports and 2.1 billion dollars for American exports. China came in second place for imports. The Central American country imported a staggering 2.3 billion dollars’ worth of goods from China. Fellow Latin American countries, Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador were also part of Honduras’s top five trade partners. Decline in Honduras’s trade balance The large trade deficit Honduras experienced with China and the United States is part of the larger picture of the country’s consistent overall trade deficit, which has seen a significant increase over the last decade. In 2001, Honduras recorded a trade deficit of about 1.78 billion U.S. dollars; the amount ballooned to over 5.41 billion dollars in 2022. This is a consequence of the country’s need to import large amounts of petroleum and other industrial oils to support its development. In contrast, the local resources that form the largest part of its exports are agricultural commodities.

The study deals with the changes in the regional structure of Germany’s foreign trade as well as with the causes of these changes between 1880 and 1938. In this context the regional development of german import and export by continents, regions and counties for the major German tradepartners is described. After that the regional development of the trade flows of all major import- and exportproducts is analysed. The German foreign trade therefore is examined on the basis of the goods on the one hand and on the other on the basis of the countries.
For the analysis the researcher collected the data (time series) for the important goods and commodity groups. Further more he developed a consistent definition of the commodity groups, so that they are comparable.
Mehtodology
a) Definition and Problem:The following processes hab been defined as structural change:- fundamental shifts in the composition of foreign trade partners, as well as- meaningful and sustained change of direction or volume of important commodities and products that affect the trade with countries or regions.
b) Temporal Delimination:Period of investigation is from 1880 to 1938. The statistics for the war years 1914-1918 and 1939 and for the post-war years 1919-1924 have not been included in the analysis because values were not covered or values are very incomplete or unreliable coused by inflation and other circumstances of that period.
c) Changes of Territory:The data of the German trade statistics refer from 1880 to February 1906 to the German custom territory, which comprised since 1872 the territory of the German Customs Union, consisting of the 26 states, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Austrian municipalities Jungholz and Mittelberg. The free port areas of Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Geestermünde and Helgoland and parts of the municipality of Hamburg and Cuxhaven did not belong to the German custum territory.Since March 1906 the german trade statistics collected data of the foreign merchandise traffic of the entire German economic area, consists until the Versailler contract of the area of the German Empire including the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Austrian municipalities Jungholz and Mittelberg, excluding Helgoland and the badenese Custum boards. Since 1920 the official trade statistics reports the values of the foreign trade for the German Empire in its new borders. That is to say, the regions of Alsace-Lorraine, the Free City of Danzig, and parts of the Prussian provinces of East Prussia, West Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Silesia, Posen, Schleswig-Holstein, the Rhine province, the territory of Luxembourg and for the years 1919 to 1935, the Saarland no longer belong to the German economic territory. The expansion of the German Empire territory between 1938 and 1939 by the annexation of Austria, Sudetenland, Bohemia, Moravia, and the Memel territory has been kept out of consideration.
For the analysis of the German foreign trade the values of german imports and exports published by the Statistical Office of the German Empire has been used. While comparing the pre-1914 values with values after the first World War, it is important to reconsider the lost of major agricultural areas of East-Germany, which restricts the comparison and it’s explanatory power or validity. On the other hand these changes reveals the changes of Germany’s foreign trade structure. Thus, it becomes obvious how the separation of large agricultural and farming land increased Germany’s import dependency in the food sector as well as Germany’s decreased export opportunities of agricultural products.
d) System of commodity groups: The problem of published German trade values of the Official Statistics of the German Empire is, that commodity groups are not defined in terms of their content. Insofar as the information is about single goods (eg.: rye, copper, cotton, etc.), the values are reliable. This is not the case as soon as the information is about commodity groups, such as ‘food’, ‘textiles’, ‘metal goods’, etc., because the structure of the aggregation of specific goods to a commodity group has changed six times over the period of investigation. The list of countries in the german foreign trade statistics has changed as well. Therfore, the author had to revised commodity groups and country lists for the purpose of its analysis and to make them comparable.
The author developed the following scheme in order to sort countries into groups or regions:
- Europe:Denmarc, Norway, Sweden, Finnland = North EuropeNetherlands, Belgium/Luxembuorg, Great Britain, France, Swizerland = West EuropeJugoslawia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greek, european and asiatic Turkey = South-East EuropePortugal, Spane, Italy = South EuropePoland, Tschechoslowakia, Russia, Baltic States = East EuropAustria-Hungary
- America:Canada, United States of America = North-AmericaMexico, Costarica, Duba, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, El Salvador = Ce...
