Track U.S. agricultural imports and exports. See farm and food product trade volumes, agricultural trade balance, and monthly trends from Census Bureau USDA data.
Agriculture is a critical component of U.S. trade. The United States is a net exporter of many agricultural products including soybeans, corn, wheat, beef, and cotton. At the same time, the U.S. imports large quantities of fruits, vegetables, coffee, cocoa, and seafood.
The U.S. is one of the world's largest agricultural exporters and a major importer of farm and food products. Key exports include soybeans, corn, beef, and cotton.
The Census Bureau classifies trade products as agricultural (USDA=0) or non-agricultural based on USDA definitions. This dashboard uses that classification to separate farm and food trade from industrial goods.
