In 2023, the agricultural export sector added a total of $362.4 billion to the United States’ economic output, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This figure highlights the critical role that agricultural trade plays in supporting the national economy and sustaining domestic production levels. The report underscores the importance of international markets in absorbing American-grown crops and livestock products, which in turn supports jobs and income across rural and urban communities alike. The USDA continues to emphasize policies that enhance market access and reduce trade barriers to maintain this vital economic contribution.
