is the US a net exporter of food?

not being fascetious, I just assumed the wealthiest nations would be net importers. we're ~60% self sufficient, and thats the highest % for over 300yrs iirc.

I do not know, but I wonder what the fuel consumed per capita per square mile would be?  The U.S. is a big place.  A good portion of fuel is used by trains, planes, and trucks for transportation of goods.

that looks like just the food trade with china, but I'll buy it since you have such low population density and lots of productive land. wtg, exports are a good thing

 Well there's the first basically insulting one. The standard run to the stereotype shop with the recipe for insult and devaluation attached. I'd be far more impressed if you'd demonstrated a tiny capacity to think for yourself though.

The fact that you cannot understand that the condescending tone your post was written in was insulting further proves my point.

Yeah but it mentioned that china  over stepped canada and Mexico. Canada produces alot of grain and mexico produces alot of coke...err I mean fruit and if we are exporting to those 2 that says something No? I'm sure the numebr are there to be found.

In terms of total food production, the best numbers I can find (from 2010) show China, India, U.S., European Union 27, then Brazil as being the five largest total food producing nations (in that order).

For wheat: European Union 27, China, India, U.S. and Brazil
For corn: U.S., China, Brazil, European Union 27, and India
For beef: U.S., Brazil, European Union 27, China, and India
For soybeans: U.S., China, Brazil, European Union 27, and India
For pork: U.S., China, European Union 27, Brazil, and India
For rice: China, India, U.S., European Union 27, and Brazil
