"The most popular exports from the United States are maize, soybeans, and milk. Other common exports include wheat, sugar beet, sugar cane, potatoes, and chicken.
While the United States is recognized as the topmost food exporter of the world, food products are nowhere near the top 10 most exported products of said country. In 2016 alone, 38.1% of the exports from the United States were consumer goods (ex. cars, appliances; anything designated for a consumer base). Second was capital goods (items used to produce goods and services), which similarly held a 37% market share. Next came machinery and transportation."
