Agricultural exports from the United States were valued at 178.7 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 and were expected to decrease to 170.5 billion U.S. dollars by 2024.

Farms in the United States There were just over two million farms in the United States as of 2022. In 2017 there were about 2.2 million farms in the United States and there has been a steady downward trend in the number of farms ever since. The vast majority of the farms in the United States are located in the state of Texas. Missouri came in second place among the leading ten states.

Major crops in the United States The United States has a very diverse range of climates, physical terrains, and natural resources. As a result, the ecosystem of the United States can support a variety of different crops. In 2023, about 15.34 billion bushels of corn for grain were harvested in the United States. Soybeans are another major crop produced in the U.S., and one which has exhibited an upward trend in production volume over the last several years.

Between 2017 and 2019, the average value of agricultural exports from Sub-Saharan Africa amounted to 9.7 billion U.S. dollars. Compared to a decade prior, the value of exports of agricultural products incremented by 2.4 billion U.S. dollars. Furthermore, it is projected that by 2029, the value of exports would drop to reach 9.4 billion U.S. dollars. Between 2017 and 2019, the average import value of agricultural products was just over 40 billion U.S. dollars.

In the fiscal year 2023, the United States exported around 33.75 billion U.S. dollars worth of agricultural products to China, which indicates a slight decrease compared to approximately 36.4 billion yuan in the previous fiscal year. In the same fiscal year, the United States exported around 3.74 billion U.S. dollars worth of agricultural products to Taiwan.

Beef and veal were Australia’s leading agricultural export products, at a value of 12.4 billion Australian dollars in the financial year 2024. Australia is also a popular exporter of wheat, the export value of which equaled 9.87 billion Australian dollars in the same year. Beef as a major agricultural export In terms of domestic production, Queensland was the largest beef-producing state, with production of both grass and grain-fed beef common. Surprisingly, the forecasted per capita consumption of beef in Australia was expected to decrease over the next few years. While local demand may drop, the global meat demand will likely more than compensate for the difference. In fact, Australia already exports the majority of the meat it produces. The primary export markets for beef include the United States, China, and Japan.Future challenges With Australia looking set to establish itself as an even bigger contributor to the global market, adoption of new technologies will be important to ensure production can keep up with demand. Challenges revolve around having a large enough semi-skilled workforce, accurately forecasting yield and harvest timings, and reliance on seasonal workers. Agriculture technology, or AgriTech, may hold the solutions. Globally, the value of smart farming looks set to expand to a multi-billion-dollar market. Australia may need to quicken the pace of AgriTech adoption to stay competitive in this market.

In 2020, the value of Egyptian agricultural commodities exported reached 4.7 billion U.S. dollars. This was a drop compared to 5.2 billion U.S. dollars in 2019. Overall, the value of exported products followed an increasing trend until 2011, then remained relatively stable.

The US soybean farming industry is navigating significant changes in the current period, with soybean prices determining the initial rise and recent decline in industry performance. These prices have been influenced by several key factors, including the growing demand for biofuels and mixed consumer perceptions regarding soy products. The demand for soybean oil in biofuel production surged due to supportive policies like the Renewable Fuel Standard and rising crude oil prices, creating a lucrative market for soybean producers. However, subsequent drops in fertilizer and crude oil prices, paired with record-high soybean production, have sharply dropped soybean prices, bringing revenue and profit down with them as farmers struggle to balance costs with lower incomes. Industry has shrunk a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%, with a decrease of 8.7% in 2025, reaching an estimated $44.2 billion. US soybean exports are facing mounting challenges due to competitive pressures abroad and quickly evolving trade policy. Brazil’s increased production and improved export infrastructure have strengthened its position as a major supplier, particularly to China, which is reducing its reliance on US soybeans. This shift threatens US exports and compels American farmers to reassess their strategies, focusing on market diversification and emphasizing quality and sustainability to remain competitive. Rising geopolitical tensions and newly imposed tariffs, such as those affecting key markets like the EU, Canada and China, have further complicated trade, impacting US farmers' access and pricing power in these vital markets. Through the end of 2025, soybean prices are initially projected to decline due to increased production and growing global supplies. However, as climate change impacts crop yields through extreme weather and pest challenges and supplies become limited prices will be pushed upward alongside rising global demand. Subsidies will continue to play a vital role in supporting farmer incomes amids these fluctuations, providing some stability to an otherwise highly volatile industry. However, the industry faces significant uncertainty due to the ongoing USDA funding freeze is creating significant uncertainty, particularly where government support and subsidies are concerned. This freeze is affecting a wide range of agricultural programs including conservation efforts, market development, research and technical assistance. Over the next five years, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3%, with revenues reaching $47.1 billion by the end of 2030.

​​​Improving market access for Australia’s agricultural, fisheries and forestry exports is vital for supporting a vibrant competitive agricultural industry. To do this, the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources works to remove technical requirements imposed by other countries such as labelling, pest and disease process requirements and residue limits that are inconsistent with Australia’s production systems and, in many cases, with international standards and rights and obligations under international trade rules.

Hog and pig farmers have been subject to intense volatility over the past several years as trade disputes and fluctuating commodity prices shook the industry. While the challenges of transporting live swine usually mean the industry has very little international trade, an outbreak of the serious African Swine Fever at the start of the period devastated nearly half of the Chinese hog population and forced them to raise imports. The trade war between the US and China caused the already low levels of US exports to China to drop to nearly zero in 2019, though, and the industry wasn't able to seize this monumental opportunity until it was too late. Still, exports to the country skyrocketed in 2020 and 2021 before dropping back down to pre-period levels, which combined with a post-pandemic spike in the price of red meat in domestic markets to boost revenue a staggering 39.9% in 2021 alone. In spite of this exceptional year, the intense volatility hog and pig farms have faced have tempered growth. Industry-wide revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 2.6% over the past five years and is expected to total $28.6 billion in 2023, when revenue will drop an estimated 6.6%. Feed is the largest input cost for hog farmers. Much of the US was hit with a drought in 2020 and 2021, which reduced crop yields and caused the price of feed to surge. While support from the federal government ensured demand for pork products remained steady through the COVID-19 pandemic, hog farms were forced to absorb the costs in 2021 and 2022 and industry profit compressed. Still, profit remains higher in 2023 than in 2018 and is expected to continue growing over the next five years. Red meat prices are expected to slump through the end of 2028, limiting revenue generated by the industry's primary market. Still, poultry prices are forecast to continue climbing over the same time, making pork products more competitive with consumers in spite of their reputation as less healthy. Trade activity will be minimal, and industry revenue will taper off from 2021 highs at a CAGR of 0.1% to $28.4 billion over the five years to 2028.
