Who sells each commodity to whom?

The single largest tracked bilateral flow is Canada to United States in crude oil, $100.5B in 2024, 7.6% of world trade in that commodity. This report reads the same CEPII BACI data as the rest of the site's trade tables, but keeps each pair of countries rather than only each country's total, for the 96 commodities whose primary trade line BACI covers.

A "corridor" is one exporter-importer pair for a commodity's primary HS line (the same line the net trade and concentration reports use), in the latest year BACI reports, usually 2024. BACI reconciles what each pair of countries reported trading with each other, so a corridor's value can differ slightly from either country's own customs figure (see sources). A large corridor between a big producer and a big buyer is expected; a large corridor between two countries that neither produce nor obviously consume much of a commodity often marks a transit or refining hub, the same pattern the export dependency report flags for Switzerland and gold.

The biggest tracked flows, any commodity

One commodity at a time

CEPII BACI, each commodity's primary HS line, latest year. Kept only for the primary line, so a commodity with meaningful secondary trade codes (see its own page) will show a narrower picture here than its full trade. All 96 commodities as JSON.
