# US sets new record for ag exports to China in 2020 | 2021-02-05  | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> USDA data showed U.S. agricultural exports to China reached a record $26.4 billion in calendar 2020, or about $29 billion including related products. The total still falls short of the $36.5 billion China pledged under the phase one deal, and U.S. beef exports to China more than doubled.
