This data visualization was my first entry to the May 2023 Visual Capitalist Creator Challenge. The contest centered on the topic of international trade and VC reccommended two online datasets. Beyond those constraints, we were free to tell any story we could from the vast amount of data on countries, commodities and natural resources. 

​

1st Entry: Largest Trade Flows of Agricultural Products
This dataset is deep and full of a hundred stories! The hardest part of the challenge was choosing which story to tell. I found the wide array of traded natural resources fascinating. More intriguing, who is trading with whom? I had been wanting to do a Sankey chart and this dataset proved to be perfect for it.
