This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for precooked or prepared grain cereals excluding corn in Syrian Arab Republic. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for precooked or prepared grain cereals excluding corn for those countries serving Syrian Arab Republic via exports, or supplying from Syrian Arab Republic via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Syrian Arab Republic fits into the world market for imported and exported precooked or prepared grain cereals excluding corn. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Syrian Arab Republic in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Syrian Arab Republic is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Syrian Arab Republic compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.

After the worldwide summary in Chapter 2 of both imports and exports of precooked or prepared grain cereals excluding corn, Chapter 3 goes into detail on imports, but for each major country of origin serving Syrian Arab Republic. A “major” market is defined as a country where Syrian Arab Republic represents a substantially large share of either imports or exports. For each major country exporting to Syrian Arab Republic, one can thus observe how important Syrian Arab Republic is to that exporting country compared to other countries of the world. Chapter 4 does the same, but for exports of precooked or prepared grain cereals excluding corn originating from Syrian Arab Republic, for each major country of destination. In doing so, one can discover the share that Syrian Arab Republic has in each major market; this share value is often used as a measure of competitiveness for Syrian Arab Republic. In all cases, the total dollar volume and percentage share values by major trading partner are provided. Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present a the total picture for imports and exports of precooked or prepared grain cereals excluding corn to and from Syrian Arab Republic to and from all other major countries in the world.
