The value of trade: Agriculture is U.S. trade champion

U.S. farmers and agribusinesses are the most productive in the world – and with 95 percent of the world’s consumers living outside the United States, it’s important that agriculture remain one of America’s most dynamic export sectors.

Advancing food security through trade

For all countries, rich and poor, international trade is an available and powerful tool for enhancing food security, reducing food costs and providing consumer choice.

Promoting the positives of trade policy

While the United States can produce an abundant crop and ship it around the world, trade policy barriers in some countries block access to the United States’ reliable grain supply.

Providing information on grain supply and reliability

While many countries initially define food security as self-sufficiency, the U.S. Grains Council builds relationships that help them expand their options by developing confidence in trade and in U.S. agriculture as a reliable, long-term supplier.
