The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) reported an “exceptional” 2022 due to increasing agricultural trade, which is enhancing its efforts to help adapt to climate change and global food and nutrition security.
United States agricultural exports reached a record $196 billion in the fiscal year 2022. The top five markets for American food and agricultural exports were China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the EU, according to the USDA’s Feb. 6 press release. In the fiscal year 2022, exports to all five markets reached record levels, with soybeans, corn, and beef proving to be the top agricultural export commodities. All three saw an increase in export values in the last fiscal year and set new records.
