Overview
After posting impressive gains in October, the value of U.S. agricultural exports has now declined for 2 consecutive months. Led by a drop in bulk products, exports fell 12 percent from November to December and totaled almost $1 billion below December 2007. Despite the year-end decline, calendar 2008 exports were up 28 percent from a year earlier to $115 billion, with bulk products rising faster than high-value. At the same time, although agricultural imports rose 12 percent from a year earlier to $80.5 billion, the percentage premium of export value over imports was the greatest since 1997.

feeds for all ERS products.
