Agriculture exports for the state of Kansas surpassed $5 billion for the first time in ten years. The state exported $5.35 billion in agricultural goods in 2021. Those exports were also $1.30 billion more than in 2020.

Governor Kelly says Kansans have long-known that farmers, ranchers, and agriculture producers are vital to the state’s economy. She says Kansas is a national leader in agriculture, and setting these records solidifies the important role the state also has on a global scale. The top export for Kansas in 2021 was meat making up $2.06 billion, with the second being cereals making up $1.51 billion.
