        美国农业部（United States Department of Agriculture，简称USDA）表示，截至9月30日的2021财年（Fiscal Year，简称FY），美国对华农产品出口预计将达创记录的350亿美元，超越2014财年296亿美元的纪录。

 

        美国农业部在其最新发布的《美国农业贸易展望》（Outlook for U.S. Agricultural Trade）中表示，由于美国出口至中国的大豆、玉米、树坚果、牛肉、小麦和家禽产品的海运量创下了新高，美国农业部此次的预测较此前2月份的预测高出了35亿美元。

 

        美国农业部说：“预计截至2021财年，中国仍是美国农产品出口的最大市场，其次是加拿大和墨西哥。”

 

        美国农业部的数据显示，2021财年美国农业出口总额预计为1640亿美元，比2月份的预测数据高出了70亿美元。

 

        美国农业部称，美国出口额激增的主要因素包括中国出口前景创纪录，一些关键产品的出口量与出口额创纪录，大宗商品价格急剧上涨，以及外国市场竞争减弱。

 

        美国农业部长汤姆·维尔萨克（Tom Vilsack）在一份声明中表示：”在全球疫情流行和经济萎缩的形势下，美国证明了其农产品贸易具有超强的适应力，并且这一优势反映在当下美国农业部对美国农产品出口额的预测中。“

 

        维尔萨克说：“显然，贸易仍然是推动农业经济和美国整体经济发展的关键引擎。今日的预估数据表明，我们的农贸伙伴正对美国贸易恢复确定性和可靠性作出积极回应。

U.S. agricultural exports to China to hit record high: USDA

 

U.S. agricultural exports to China are expected to hit a record high of 35 billion U.S. dollars in fiscal year (FY) 2021 that ends on Sept. 30, eclipsing the previous record of 29.6 billion dollars in FY 2014, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said.

 

The figure is 3.5 billion dollars higher than the department’s previous forecast in February, due to record shipments of soybeans, corn, tree nuts, beef, wheat and poultry products to China, the USDA said in its latest Outlook for U.S. Agricultural Trade.

 

“China is forecast to remain the largest market for U.S. agricultural exports in FY 2021, followed by Canada and Mexico,” the USDA said.

 

Overall U.S. agriculture exports in FY 2021 are projected at 164 billion dollars, up 7 billion dollars from the February forecast, according to the USDA.

 

Key drivers of the surge in exports include a record outlook for China, record export volumes and values for a number of key products, sharply higher commodity prices, and reduced foreign competition, the USDA said.

 

“U.S. agricultural trade has proven extraordinarily resilient in the face of a global pandemic and economic contraction. This strength is reflected in today’s USDA export forecast,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement.

 

“It’s clear that trade remains a critical engine powering the agricultural economy and the U.S. economy as a whole. Today’s estimate shows that our agricultural trading partners are responding to a return to certainty and reliability from the United States,” Vilsack said.
