DESCRIPTION: This U.S. Grains Council (USGC) study, developed in collaboration with the National Corn Growers Association, provides an updated economic analysis of U.S. grain exports, including corn, ethanol, barley and the corn-equivalent of livestock products. It highlights the financial contribution of these exports to the U.S. economy, showing that they generated an additional $57.24 billion in business sales in 2023 and supported approximately 346,000 jobs. An interactive map with downloadable state infographics complements the study, offering a detailed, state-by-state breakdown of export values and total value of production.
