The United States is the world's largest exporter of a large number of agricultural products, including soybeans, corn, cotton, and wheat. It is also the world's largest importer of fruits and vegetables, coffee, wine, beer, and rubber. Over the past two decades, however, the country has been losing its dominant position in world agricultural trade, with increased competition caused by the emergence of new exporters and the aggressive policies pursued by some traditional exporters and the declining global demand for American products due to their low price competitiveness producing an adverse impact on U.S. agricultural exports. Trade confrontation between China and the EU on the one hand, and the United States, one the other hand, serves as a new export restraint, the effects of which American farmers have already felt today. The negative impact of these external economic factors on the U.S. agricultural sector is being aggravated by the fact that American agricultural production is highly export-orientated. Despite the U.S. government’s export encouragement efforts, the number of U.S. large agricultural trading partners is declining, and so is the U.S. share in the world agricultural exports.
