Outlook
for U.S. Agricultural Trade summarizes USDA's most
recent 1-year projections for U.S. agricultural trade
value and volume, as well as projections of selected
countries' total trade with the United States.
Converging Patterns in Global Food Consumption and Food Delivery Systems (February 2008) reports that across countries and income levels worldwide, consumers are choosing to spend their additional income on some combination of increased quality, convenience, and variety of foods. Food delivery systems and consumption patterns in middle-income countries like China and Thailand are converging, or "catching up" to countries with higher income levels. Income growth has been a primary force behind converging global consumption patterns, but globalization of the food industry is also contributing. For the full report, see Convergence in Global Food Demand and Delivery (March 2008).
U.S. Trade Growth: A New Beginning or a Repeat of the Past? (September 2007) evaluates how global economic growth patterns and domestic macroeconomic conditions have influenced recent trends in U.S. agricultural trade. Emerging market growth, a weaker dollar, and the potential for slower domestic consumption growth suggest a continuation of robust export growth and moderating demand for imports. For the full report, see Global Growth, Macroeconomic Change, and U.S. Agricultural Trade (September 2007).
