摘要：	The American agricultural industry posted its highest annual export levels ever recorded in 2021, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced February 8. The final 2021 trade data published by the Department of Commerce showed that exports of U.S. farm and food products to the world totaled $177 billion, topping the 2020 total by 18 percent and eclipsing the previous record, set in 2014, by 14.6 percent."These record-breaking trade numbers demonstrate that U.S. agriculture is incredibly resilient as it continues to provide high-quality, cost-competitive farm and food products to customers around the globe and that the Biden-Harris administration's agenda is working for American farmers and producers," Vilsack said. "This is a major boost for the economy as a whole, and particularly for our rural communities, with agricultural exports stim-ulating local economic activity, helping maintain our competitive edge globally, supporting producers' bottom lines, and supporting more than 1.3 million jobs on the farm and in related industries such as food processing and transportation."The United States' top 10 export markets all saw gains in 2021, with six of the 10-China, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, the Philippines and Colombia-setting new records. Worldwide exports of many U.S. products, including soybeans, corn, beef, pork, dairy, distillers grains and pet food, also reached all-time highs.China remained the top export destination, with a record $33 billion in purchases, up 25 percent from 2020, while Mexico inched ahead of Canada to capture the No. 2 position with a record $25.5 billion, up 39 percent from last year.
