From sea to shining sea, each state in the United States exports food and agricultural products. These U.S. exports continue to strengthen the rural economy by bringing in billions of dollars in revenues and supporting tens of thousands of jobs.
Each year, USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) opens and preserves access to foreign markets, protecting and expanding U.S. export opportunities. But have you ever wondered, “What’s in it for me?” or “How does this impact my area?” Well, this week, FAS launched a tool to help you discover the answers to those questions. With the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service and Your State story maps, you can now see how recent trade wins are helping agricultural producers, businesses, and industries in your state succeed.
