Mexico is the biggest source of American farm imports, shipping tomatoes, fresh berries and other vegetables.
In recent years, the US, known for being a global agriculture powerhouse, has increased its purchases of food imports. The value of those imports now exceed exports of crops like corn, soybeans and wheat. Inbound shipments of everything from avocados to coffee and sugar are expected to drive the country’s agriculture trade deficit to a record $49 billion this year, according to the US Department of Agriculture.
