President’s Note Ken Roberts

a trillion

With $400 billion in two-way trade in Los Angeles’ rear-view mirror, what would $500 billion mean to the region’s ports, roads and people?

ur import-export data goes back to 1992, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which ushered in the modern era of globalization and rapid growth in world trade. At that time, the Los Angeles Customs district had just recently passed $100 billion in trade. That year, New York City was the nation’s leading Customs district, and the first Customs district in the nation to surpass $100 billion, almost certainly. Eight years later, in 2000, Los Angeles and New York each passed $200 million in two-way trade, but Los Angeles had years before powered past New York to rank as the nation’s leading Customs district. While Japan was Los Angeles’ top trade partner in both 1992 and 2000, China had slipped by Taiwan and South Korea to rank No. 2. China’s trade with Los Angeles totaled $43.44 billion in 2000, a far cry from the 1992 total of $10.16 billion and from the 2012 total of $159.26 billion.

Fast forward again. In 2006, the year that WorldCity would first approach the Port of Los Angeles and Los Angeles International Airport about creating a publication similar to the one we had been producing in Miami since 2001, Los Angeles passed another milestone – $300 billion – but this time did it alone, without New York City. And now, Los Angeles has surpassed $400 million, at this point the only Customs district to have every done so. Can one-half trillion be far behind? Just for a moment, let’s assume that occurs at a similar pace to the recent milestones, in another six years, in 2018. While some of that increase will be due to inflation, quite a bit will be in the form of extra containers at the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach as well as other seaports in the area. Quite a bit will be in extra flights looking to land at and depart from LAX and other area airports. Quite a bit will be on the area’s already overburdened interstate system.

Quite a bit will be passing through on rail, more environmentally friendly, to be sure, but not entirely unintrusive either. Quite a bit will require additional warehouse space. While it won’t translate to a 20 percent increase in employment, it will certainly mean additional jobs. But what jobs? And what kind of training will be required? Importing and exporting is an ancient trade but, like everything else, it is changing at lightening speed. Los Angeles may be in the driver’s seat but strap in for the ride. In this, the seventh annual version of Los Angeles TradeNumbers, we have added more information about the “ports” – air and ocean – that are leading the charge, with tonnage statistics in addition to dollar information. We are also beefing up our online presence, with hundreds of new web pages monthly, soon to be in the thousands. I welcome your feedback. Contact: kroberts@worldcityweb.

os Angles' trade with the world topped $403.96 billion in 2012, making it the first and only U.S. Customs district to surpass $400 billion in total exports and total imports in a single year. The Los Angeles Customs district, led by the Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles International Airport, was also the first to top $300 billion, when it did so in 2006, and almost certainly the first to top $200 billion,

The totals can be staggering. Los Angeles became the first Customs district to import more than $5 billion in leather shoes in 2012. Los Angeles imported more than $21 billion of computers, more than $18 billion in motor vehicles and more than $9.5 billion in printers. Total Los Angeles Customs district imports were $282.16 billion in 2012, a U.S. record. From Southern California's vast logistics and supply-chain network,

a league of

its own

Los Angeles, in record year, is first to top $400 billion in two-way trade when both Los Angeles and New York City did so in 2000. Behind 4.31 percent growth in 2012, Los Angeles also reclaimed the crown as the nation's No. 1ranked Customs district, surpassing New York City, where trade fell 1.59 percent. For all but two years in the last two decades, Los Angeles has been top ranked. New York was also No. 1 the other time Los Angeles wasn't, in 2001. Los Angeles' primary role in U.S. trade is as the import destination for Chinese, Japanese, South Korean and other Asian goods, ranging from athletic shoes to cars, computers and printers.

the goods fan out across the United States and, to a lesser extent, are later exported to Latin America and even Canada. This role explains, in fact, why New York City surpassed Los Angeles as the nation's leading Customs district in 2001, of all years, the year of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers. The U.S. economy, already slowing, came to a screeching halt in the aftermath of the attacks, and all those consumer goods that flow into Los Angeles' airports and seaports tapered off as demand slackened. From a purely import-export point of view, the impact of the terrorist

attack was greater in Los Angeles than New York. Imports are back, however, setting another record in 2012, at $282.62 billion. It is likely Los Angeles will be the first Customs district to register $300 billion in imports when 2013 data is released in February 2014. Los Angeles has accounted for more than 12 percent of all U.S. imports every year but one since 1992. By comparison, it has not accounted for 12 percent of all U.S. trade - exports and imports - since 1995. With exports, Houston slipped past Los Angeles in 2012 to rank as the nation's third-leading exporting Customs district behind New York and Detroit, which are perennially Nos. 1 and 2. While Los Angeles' exports are not insignificant - the $121.35 billion total was a Los Angeles record - it also regularly breaks new U.S. records for its trade deficit exports minus imports - and did so again in 2012, at $161.27 billion. Chicago, also heavily dependent on trade with China, is the only other U.S. Customs district with a deficit in excess of $100 billion. To put it in perspective, Los Angles' trade deficit is larger than the total trade for all but the nation's top seven Customs districts. Viewed another way, Los Angeles' deficit is equal to more than 22 percent of the total U.S. deficit. Other Customs districts' trade is more imbalanced, however. For every dollar of trade, the U.S. average is that 40 cents is an export. The Los Angeles percent is 30 percent. Chicago, Cleveland and Dallas - all of which have China at their No. 1 trade partner - all have a smaller percentage of exports to total trade than Los Angeles, as does Philadelphia, a large oil importer. China, the nation's No. 2-ranked trading partner behind Canada, is overwhelmingly No. 1 for Los Angeles. Although two other Customs districts have a greater total with one trade partner -Detroit, with Canada, and Laredo, with Mexico, topped $200 billion with one partner in 2011 - Los Angeles

reported a record $159.26 billion in twoway trade with China in 2012. China's trade with Los Angeles, and the United States as a whole, has grown rapidly since its ascension into the World Trade Organization at the turn of the century. The first year it accounted for more than 20 percent of Los Angeles trade was 2001 - it had been less than 9 percent in 1992. In 2012, China accounted for 39.42 percent of Los Angeles' trade with the world. For six consecutive years, it has accounted for more than 45 percent of all imports. Before China's rise, Japan had been Los Angeles' top trade partner. It remains No. 2. Rounding out the top 10 trade partners are six other Asian nations plus No. 6 Germany and No. 7 Australia. After Japan come No. 3 South Korea, No. 4 Taiwan, No. 5 Thailand, No. 8 Malaysia, No. 9 Vietnam and No. 10 Hong Kong. In percentage terms, Germany was the fastest-growing among Los Angeles' top trade partners, growing 18.78 percent, or more than four times the overall rate of 4.31 percent. It moved up two in the rankings with Los Angeles, to No. 6, and surpassed $10 billion in two-way trade for the first time. The only top 20 trade partner that moved up more over its 2011 ranking was Malaysia, up three positions. France moved up one, but it was an important one - it ranked in the top 20, pushing aside the Netherlands and earning its own page in this, the sixth annual Los Angeles TradeNumbers. Los Angeles has a trade deficit with 17 of its top 20 trade partners, the exceptions being No. 7 Australia, No. 10 Hong Kong and No. 12 Singapore. Overall, Los Angeles, like the United States as a whole, has surpluses with more countries than countries with which it has a deficit. In 2012, the score was 134 surpluses and 92 deficits. The surpluses tend of be much smaller, of course. Los Angeles' deficit with China, at $105.05 billion, is about five times the sur-

No. 1 The Los Angeles Customs district regained its ranking as the nation's top Customs district, a position it has held all but two years in the last two decades.

No. 1 Los Angeles is the nation's leading Customs districts for trade with 12 of its top 20 trade partners: China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Ecuador and the Philippines.

5 For the fifth consecutive year, Los Angeles accounted for more than 10 percent of all U.S. trade. For the 12 years prior to 2008, it accounted for more than 11 percent. It last accounted for more than 12 percent of all U.S. trade in 1995.

4 Four nations saw their trade with Los Angeles increase by more than $1 billion in in 2012, compared to 2011: China, Japan, Germany and Iraq.

$161.27 The Los Angeles trade deficit, in billions, in 2012, the largest in U.S. history. The deficit with China alone was $105.05 billion.

Los Angeles, known for its Asian imports, actually exported more in 2012 than all but the top 10 U.S. Customs districts had in total trade.

Page 11

plus with all 134 â&#x20AC;&#x153;surplus nationsâ&#x20AC;? combined, at $21.7 billion. Viewed another way, Los Angeles imported a record $21.06 billion in computers in 2012 - almost equal to the entire surplus of those 134 nations. Computers ranked as the leading import into the Los Angeles Customs district in 2012, but the next 48 categories all topped $1 billion - a record. Among Los Angeles' top 50 imports, only linens for bed, bath and kitchen fell shy of $1 billion, at $995.21 million. Overall, imports increased 6.13 percent in 2012. The big three are computers, oil ($19.6 billion) and motor vehicles ($18.23 billion); after those three, none of the remainder accounted for more than $10 billion each. On the export side, by contrast, the top 24 categories were valued in excess of $1 billion half as many as with imports while the top export, civilian aircraft, engines and parts, totaled $5.42 billion, or about one-quar-

ter the total of the top import. Nevertheless, those 24 exports valued above $1 billion is two more than the record set in 2011. Overall, exports gained 0.3 percent over 2011. Because of large decreases in cotton and motor vehicle exports - which had ranked Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, in 2011 - diamonds became the second-most-valuable export from the Los Angeles Customs district in 2012, up two positions in the rankings. On the back of 15.25 percent growth, medical instruments moved up four positions to rank as the fifth leading export. No top 10 export moved up more in importance. Scrap iron and steel, subject to price swings, slipped three, the most by any top 10 export, to No. 8. One of the fastest-growing export categories, up 36.76 percent and 13 places in the rankings, was the category than includes almonds and walnuts, with a 2012 value of $1.34 billion. WC

LOS ANGELES TRADE PARTNER

CHINA

Total trade with Los Angeles | $159.26 billion

China-L.A. trade up 40 percent from 2009 low

hina has been Los Angeles’ No. 1 trading partner since 2000, when it overtook Japan. In the following 12 years, trade with the world’s second-largest economy has nearly quadrupled, from $43.44 billion to the 2012 of record $159.45 billion. EXPORTS: Copper exports rose by almost 1,000 percent, to a record $475.88 million. The jump comes a year after the export’s value rose by more than 80 percent in 2011. IMPORTS: Computer imports increased $660.89 million in value in 2012, enough to overcome the 2006 record, before the U.S. economy slowed. BALANCE OF TRADE: Los Angeles has run a deficit with China since at least 1992. In 2012 that deficit rose over $100 billion for the first time to a record $105.05 billion. MARKET SHARE: China’s part in L.A. trade peaked at 41.49 percent in 2010. That fell to 39.42 percent in 2012. WC

GERMANY

Total trade with Los Angeles | $10.35 billion

Germany trade nearly doubles from 2009 total

AUSTRALIA

Total trade with Los Angeles | $10.02 billion

L.A. trade surplus with Australia up almost $1 billion

os Angeles’ trade with Australia rose above $10 billion for the first time in 2012, but its rank slipped one spot to No. 7. Thanks to geography, L.A. accounts for nearly a quarter of Australia’s trade with the United States. EXPORTS: No. 1 motor vehicle parts took the top spot from aircraft and parts for the first time in 2011. Generator exports rose more than 500 percent and 59 spots to join the top 10 at No. 6. IMPORTS: Five of the top 10 imports fell in value in 2012, including the top import, returned exports. Returned exports are largely items returned for repair. BALANCE OF TRADE: Los Angeles has traded with Australia at a surplus since at least 1992. That surplus has grown by almost $1 billion a year since 2010. MARKET SHARE: Australia has made up less than 3 percent of L.A.’s total trade since 2000. WC

VIETNAM

Total trade with Los Angeles | $9.72 billion

Vietnam trade rises again, as it has since 1992

ietnam’s trade with Los Angeles was unscathed by the economic downturn and has risen every year since 1993. The district’s trade is poised to cross the $10 billion mark in 2013. EXPORTS: Total exports rose above $2 billion for the first time in 2011, but declines in the value of cotton, cars and milk exports dragged that figure down 15.79 percent to just under $1.70 billion. IMPORTS: Shoes again became the district’s top import after losing the rank in 2006. This import could be the first to cross the $1 billion mark in 2013, but it would need to maintain close to the 35.14 percent growth posted in 2012. BALANCE OF TRADE: Growing L.A. imports meant only 17 cents of each dollar of trade was an export. The 2012 deficit with Vietnam rose by more than $1 billion to a record $6.33 billion. MARKET SHARE: Los Angeles accounts for more Vietnamese trade than the next seven districts combined. WC

IRAQ Total trade with Los Angeles | $5.27 billion

Oil prices on the rise mean new record for Iraq

ising oil prices helped pushed total trade with Iraq up 33.61 percent to $5.27 billion. That’s shy of the $6.74 billion record set in 2008, but was good enough to move Iraq up three spots to No. 14 among Los Angeles’ top trade partners. EXPORTS: Exports account for only a small fraction of the Los Angeles Customs district’s trade with Iraq. The district’s No. 1 export, iron and steel pipes, was shipped for the first time in 2010. IMPORTS: Oil accounted for more than 99 percent of the value of all Los Angeles imports from Iraq for well over a decade. BALANCE OF TRADE: As the vast majority of Los Angeles’ trade with Iraq is in oil, the district has run a large deficit with the country since at least 1992. MARKET SHARE: Los Angeles is second only to Houston for trade with Iraq. Houston’s massive oil refining facilities make it the top destination for Iraqi oil. WC

IMPORTS: The value of imports fell by $822.56 million, mostly due to No. 1 oil’s 15.56 percent slide off of the record $5.34 billion set in 2011. BALANCE OF TRADE: Because of oil imports, Los Angeles has had a perennial deficit with Ecuador, which fell below the 2011 record of $5.70 billion. MARKET SHARE: Los Angeles remained the leading Customs district for Ecuador trade in 2012 but Houston narrowed the gap. WC

LOS ANGELES TRADE PARTNER

ISRAEL Total trade with Los Angeles | $3.75 billion

Israel remains among top 20 after steep slide

srael was one of Los Angeles’ top trade partners a decade ago but in the following years has slipped as low as No. 28. It rejoined the top 20 at No. 19 in 2011, when trade reached a record $3.41 billion. In 2012 it set a new record at $3.75 billion. EXPORTS: Diamond exports held above $1 billion for the second year in a row and rose 25.81 percent to a record $1.47 billion. IMPORTS: Imports of diamonds first rose above the $1 billion mark in 2008 at $1.51 billion. Unlike exports, in recent years diamonds haven’t made up nearly the entire value of Los Angeles’ imports. BALANCE OF TRADE: The Los Angeles deficit with Israel fell by more than half in 2012, to $208.19 million, the lowest level since the district posted a $1.98 million surplus in 2000. MARKET SHARE: New York City’s trade with Israel in 2012 accounted for more than the total of the top 10 districts combined. WC

TOP LOS ANGELES EXPORTS

DIAMONDS

Total Los Angeles trade | $3.80 billion

iamond exports in a few years have become key for Los Angeles. The value of the export rose from $287.49 million in 2009 to a record $3.80 billion in 2012, good enough to move it up two spots to rank No. 2. Due to their high value, rleative light weight and need for limited time between buyer and seller, the vast majority of Los Angeles’ diamonds depart via Los Angeles International Airport. COUNTRIES: Israel and India have emerged as the major destinations for Los Angeles’ diamonds. In 2012, Israel overtook India for the top spot. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: The more than $1 billion drop in the value of the nation’s diamond exports was mostly in New York City, which saw its diamond exports fall by more, in dollar terms, than the entire nation.

COTTON

Total Los Angeles trade | $3.28 billion

os Angeles’ cotton exports fell $922.74 million in 2012 from the 2011 record, but the $3.28 billion total remained the second-highest total on record, following a decade or fairly sizeable and steady increases. Cotton slipped from the No. 2-ranked export to No.3. COUNTRIES: A record 74.5 percent of Los Angeles’ cotton went to China in 2012. The remaining quarter was spread among southeartern Asian nations with large textile industries. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Los Angeles was the nation’s only billion-dollar cotton exporter until 2011, when the Savannah/ Atlanta Customs district rose above the mark. Savannah hasn’t taken marketshare from Los Angeles but from smaller exporting districts, such as Houston and Laredo, suppliers to Mexico. WC

MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS Total Los Angeles trade | $2.48 billion

edical instruments, which include syringes, dental drills and even electrocardiograph machines, were the fastest-growing export, in percentage terms, among the Los Angeles top 10 . The value of Los Angeles exports in 2012 rose to a record $2.48 billion. Due to their high value and relative small size, most of these goods – $1.85 billion in 2012 – left via Los Angeles International Airport rather than a seaport. COUNTRIES: China has been the fastest growing since 2009, up 113.65 percent in that time. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Los Angeles is perched to become the nation’s leading Customs district for these exports, if 2013 is a strong year. A decade ago, New York City was the dominant district claiming 20.91 percent. WC

COMPUTER CHIPS Total Los Angeles trade | $2.38 billion

xports of computer chips were at their highest levels in the early 2000s. Los Angeles exported a record $12.61 billion in 2000. With the fall has come a drop in ranking among L.A. exports, from No. 1 as recently as 2008 to No. 7 in 2012. COUNTRIES: All computer chip exports are shipped to electronic manufacturing hubs around the world, which in turn send finished products back to the United States and elsewhere. A decade ago, Malaysia and Taiwan were the top destinations but they have since been replaced by China and Thailand. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Los Angeles in the mid 2000s was the nation’s leading exporter of chips, but has since been replaced by Dallas, which in 2012 shipped 13.82 percent of the nation’s total. WC

SCRAP IRON, STEEL Total Los Angeles trade | $2.15 billion

crap iron exports include cast iron, stainless steel and various alloys. The most valuable part of this category in 2012 was iron waste, worth $1.46 billion of the $2.15 billion total. Due to its heavy weight most scrap metal is shipped by water. More than $1.45 billion left via the port at Los Angeles in 2012. COUNTRIES: Los Angeles’ shipments to eight of its top 10 markets, including the top three, all fell in value in 2012. Shipments to Pakistan were the fastest growing and the record $33.73 million was enough to bring that country into the top 10 for the first time. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Los Angeles was just one of many top 10 district to see double-digit percent losses in scrap iron and steel exports as the nation’s total fell more than $2 billion in 2012. WC

COMPUTERS

Computer total is third-highest, nears 2006 mark

s with exports of other technology products, computers from Los Angeles hit their peak in the mid-2000s and have fallen since. COUNTRIES: Since 2007, China has risen from the No. 9 destination for computer exports leaving Los Angeles to No. 1. Some of that growth seems to have come from No. 6 Hong Kong, whose share of Los Angeles exports fell from 10.33 percent to 4.33 percent in 2012. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: The Miami Customs district in recent years has been the nation’s leading exporter of computers thanks to growing demand in Latin America. In that time Los Angeles’ share of total exports has fallen under 8 percent, though it has remained among the nation’s top five Customs districts for computer exports. WC

otor vehicle part exports from the Los Angeles Customs district rose to a record $1.86 billion in 2012.

COUNTRIES: China, for the first time, became Los Angeles’ top destination. At the same time shipments to New Zealand rose 36.33 percent bringing the Pacific island-nation back into the district’s list of top 10 markets at No. 8. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: As holds true for motor vehicles themselves, Detroit leads the nation for part exports. Laredo is No. 2 due to its heavy trade with Mexico, where many car manufacturers have been setting up operations in recent years. WC

OIL

Total Los Angeles trade | $19.60 billion

he value of Los Angeles’ oil imports has more than doubled since 2009, when they were worth $9.30 billion. The port at El Segundo, long a prominent oil importer, brought in a record $7.58 billion of the district’s record $19.60 billion in 2012. COUNTRIES: Iraq in 2012 again became the district’s top source of oil after ceding the spot to Ecuador in 2011. Though Iraq is often Los Angeles’ top source of oil it has only once, in 2008, accounted for more than a third of the district’s total imports. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Los Angeles has never accounted for more than 7 percent of the nation’s total oil imports. Houston, New Orleans and Port Arthur, thanks to large refining facilities, accounted for more than 50 percent. WC

LEATHER SHOES

L.A. first to import over $5 billion in leather shoes

012 was the first time Los Angeles’ leather shoe imports rose above $5 billion, reaching a record $5.04 billion. The growth was also enough to move this import up two spots in the district’s top 10 most valuable imports. Shoes made from both rubber and leather and all leather make up the biggest share, worth $3.37 billion. COUNTRIES: China has been Los Angeles’ only billion-dollar source of footwear since it crossed the mark in 1995. No. 2 Vietnam could become the second nation to do so in 2013 if it maintains the 35.14 percent growth of 2012. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Of its top 10 import commodities, Los Angeles is the nation’s top gateway for five of them and leather shoes is one of them. The district accounted for a record 42.73 percent of the nation’s $11.80 billion total. WC

L.A. solidifies role as nation’s top sweater importer

he Los Angeles Customs district’s sweater imports rose to a record $4.93 billion in 2012. Nearly 90 percent of all of the district’s imports enter through the Port of Los Angeles. COUNTRIES: Seven of Los Angeles’ top 10 sources of sweater imports, including No. 2 Vietnam and No. 4 Cambodia, didn’t appear in the list a decade ago. China has been the top source since at least 1992. CUSTOMS DISTRICTS: Los Angeles’ proximity and water connectivity to southeast Asia, where a large part of the world’s clothing manufacturing is done, make it a natural leader for sweater imports. Yet the district only took the top spot in 2005. The New York City Customs district had been the nation’s top gateway since at least 1992. WC
