Foreign Value Added Share of Gross Exports
28 years, 1995–2022 · 80 countries
The foreign value added share of gross exports measures how much of what a country sells abroad was actually made somewhere else — the imported parts, materials and services built into its exports. It is the OECD’s standard measure of how deeply a country is woven into cross-border supply chains.
This site holds every year from 1995 to 2022, read from OECD’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision
The headline is stored to 3 decimals, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.
Read from the OECD’s Trade in Value Added database (2025 edition) through its SDMX API, at the three decimals the OECD serves; the World Bank’s Data360 copy is an older edition cut to one. Regional and trade-bloc totals are left out.
