KANSAS RANKED 6TH IN
AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS

Kansas ranked sixth among the 50 states as an exporter of agricultural products during fiscal year (FY) 2001, according to data released by the Economics Research Service, USDA, and Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service. Exports from six out of the top ten states rose. The total value of Kansas exports, at $2,892.4 million, is down 5 percent from the previous fiscal year. Most of the decrease came from the Live Animals & Meat, Feed Grains, and Soybeans & Products categories. Kansas accounted for 5.5 percent of the $52,734.9 million National total of agricultural exports in FY 2001.

Kansas was ranked in first place for Hides & Skins and Feeds & Fodders. These preliminary export numbers show Kansas slightly behind North Dakota for Wheat and Products, coming in $1.4 million behind North Dakota. In addition, Kansas was ranked second in the Nation for Live Animals & Meat and Animal Fats. Other top ten rankings for Kansas were Sunflower Seed & Oil (third place with $15.9 million) and Feed Grains & Products (fifth place with $465.6 million).

Live Animals comprised 28 percent of the total Kansas exports and 14 percent of all U.S. Live Animal exports. Wheat & Products accounted for 21 percent of the State total and 18 percent of the National All Wheat exports. Feed Grains & Products tallied 16 and 7 percent of the State and National exports, respectively.

U.S. AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS
UP 4 PERCENT

The United States exported $52.7 billion of agricultural commodities in FY 2001, up 4 percent from 2000. Export share estimates, with $9,383.4 million again placed California at the top. Iowa ranked second, followed by Texas, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Washington, Indiana, and Arkansas. Agricultural export estimates by State are based on the assumption that if a State contributes a certain percentage of U.S. production, it contributes a similar percentage of export revenues. When appropriate, however, supplemental data (customs district data, domestic use data, and the Census of Agriculture data, for example) were used to adjust the export share.
