USDA Touts Record Ag Sales Last Year

The U.S. exported a record $196 billion worth of agricultural goods in FY 2022, hitting new records in export values for shipments to China, Canada, Mexico, Japan and the EU, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service said in a Feb. 6 news release. The top export commodities -- soybeans, corn and beef -- also set records, the agency said. It also said FAS helped to expand potato exports to Mexico, opened a processed meat products market in Israel, addressed “halal concerns to expand exports” to Indonesia and Egypt, and increased ethanol exports to Japan.
