Rice

In 2019, the value of U.S. rice exports to the world reached $1.9 billion, up 11 percent from the prior year. The top three markets, accounting for 41 percent of exports, were Japan, Mexico, and Haiti at $275 million, $275 million, and $207 million, respectively. Mexico accounted for 23 percent by volume, primarily a paddy (rough) rice market. Free trade agreement regions remained significant markets, particularly in the Western Hemisphere.
