In fiscal 1982, agricultural imports were valued at 3787 million dollars. The supplementary commodities amounted to 2062 million dollars.
The United States imports farm commodities from more than 125 countries but ip fiscal 1962, 53 per cent, came from only 10 of the countries. They shipped more than half of the supplementary as well as the complements ries. Brazil was the major supplier with 485 million dollars’ worth of commodities. Other major suppliers, in order, were Mexico, the Philippines, Colombia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Dominican Republic, Peru and India.
