# U.S. Ag Exports/Trade Policy Update as of June 2022 | Agricultural Economics

> USDA projected a record FY2022 U.S. agricultural export level of $191 billion, 11% above last year's record. Export values are rising mainly because commodity prices are higher, while volumes are projected lower for most products. Soybean exports set a record January-April pace in value.
