2022 U.S. Agricultural Export Yearbook
The 2022 U.S. Agricultural Export Yearbook provides a statistical summary of U.S. agricultural commodity exports to the world during the 2022 calendar year. This summary lists the United States’ top 17 trading partners. The Yearbook is produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) using trade data published by the U.S. Census Bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Foreign country export data was sourced from the reporting countries’ national statistical agencies, as reported through Trade Data Monitor.
The 2022 U.S. Agricultural Export Yearbook consists of two sections: (1) top U.S. commodity exports and (2) top destinations for U.S. exports. The Yearbook utilizes FAS product groups that can be found at FAS’ Global Agricultural Trade System located at https://apps.fas.usda.gov/gats/. The product groups are defined using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) at the 10-digit level and aggregated into classifications that include the primary commodity and its derivatives. FAS has titled these product groups as “BICO (HS-10).” BICO is a FAS designation that stands for Bulk, Intermediate and Consumer-Oriented goods. The bulk commodity groups, such as corn, wheat, and rice, are aggregations of very few HTS codes. For example, the soybeans product group includes only 2 HTS codes, and cotton includes only 5 codes, while consumer-oriented product groups such as the beef and beef product category incorporate 26 HTS lines, dairy products include 46 HTS lines, and fresh vegetables include 70 HTS codes.
The 13 product groups or commodity aggregations displayed in the Yearbook are based on the United States’ largest export categories. The top 13 export product groups account for 73 percent of total U.S. agricultural products exported in 2022.
The country pages in the Yearbook include the United States’ top 17 export destinations. These top 17 export markets represent more than 80 percent of total U.S. agricultural exports in 2022.
