Welcome to the tradeflows wiki!

The objective of this database system is to provide an up-to-date, neutral, comprehensive source of forest products bilateral trade statistics to the public through an online interface. The system modernises the way trade flow data are downloaded from UN COMTRADE, stored, validated and presented in a way that has more value added for the end-user. The system allows for semi-automatic updating of the data.

The trade flow cleaning procedure was developed in R and the code was published as EFI's first open source tool. You are welcome to download and contribute to the development of the code via EFI’s Github site: TradeFlows - GitHub. The source code is licensed under GNU GPL v3.
