U.S. Agriculture and Asia: Why the Market Matters
Asia is one of the most important destination regions for U.S. agricultural exports, connecting American producers with Asian food and agriculture businesses.
The latest USDA picture
USDA Economic Research Service reports that during 2021–2025, East Asia accounted for about 30% of U.S. agricultural exports, led by China, Japan and South Korea. Southeast Asia was the third-largest regional destination, led by the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia.
Why this matters for businesses
Trade creates opportunities beyond the farm gate. Processing, cold storage, logistics, distribution, agricultural technology and food-service businesses can all participate in agricultural supply chains.
2025 export picture
USDA reports that the United States exported $171 billion in agricultural goods in 2025, with Japan and South Korea among the five largest export markets.
