This adjustment Is made to convert the values to ar approximation of the producers' value of exported goods. Current adjustment factors are based on daLa
for 1981 whlch are publisned In Origin of Exports of Manufactured Products, M81(AS)-5, appendix B. Comparable adjustment factors for earlier years are
based on similar factors developed for 1971 and 1912. The current adjustment factor for this report is 0.9731.
