Total grain imports into the US are less than 2% of our consumption. My original post was meant to refer to bulk raw commodities such as corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton. There are certainly food products from other places that we don't produce here that we import and we need products such as from Mexico in our winter. Our exports are in the millions of tons for the commodities listed to Japan, Mexico, Egypt,China,European Union, Canada,(not wheat to Canada),Venezuela, Syria, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Many,many countries in the world in addition to those mentioned depend on our farmers each year for bulk raw commodity production.
