Taiwan: 2021 US Agriculture Trade to Taiwan Highlights

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TW2022-0026

In 2021, the total value of U.S. agricultural and related products exported to Taiwan was $3.94 billion, an increase of 18 percent compared to the previous year. Taiwan moved up two places to rank as the 6th largest market for U.S. agricultural exports in 2021. This was the second highest year on record behind 2018’s $4.08 billion. Products in the consumer oriented category continue to play an increasingly important role, with beef and dairy products hitting new highs year after year. Taiwan is the largest market for container shipments of U.S. soybeans ($736 million), but the ongoing shipping container crisis is causing Taiwan buyers to increasingly favor competitors who can deliver in bulk shipments.
