What is Methods of reconciling world trade statistics about?

Extract: Import volumes reported to the United Nations (U.N.) for both food and feed grains from 1962 to 1983 differed 32-52 percent from reported export volumes. Because, in theory, reported import levels should eaual those of reported exports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must reconcile trade data inconsistencies to present the most reliable trade numbers to the public. USDA studied the inconsistencies in U.N. import and export data to improve reconcillation methods and thus improve the USDA data base. This report reviews USDA methods of editing trade data, cites examples of possible problems in reconciling food and feed grain data, and examines the causes of data inconsistencies
