# China: Specialty Crop Market Situation and Trends from 2017 to 2023 | USDA Foreign Agricultural Service

> USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service report shows that U.S. specialty crop exports to China in 2023 were led by tree nuts at $1.2 billion. Exports of other specialty crops have declined due to improved Chinese domestic production, retaliatory tariffs, and free trade deals with Southern Hemisphere competitors.
