Oklahoma Farm Exports Drop Amid Trade Shifts and Tariffs

Oklahoma Agriculture Takes Major Hit as Exports Decline

A new national review of major U.S. agricultural products shows exports dropping by billions of dollars in the first eight months of this year. Oklahoma farmers are among the hardest hit, particularly in trade with China.

Oklahoma Export Losses Exceed $46 Million

According to the study, Oklahoma’s agricultural exports to China alone fell by more than $46 million, a direct result of ongoing tariffs, reduced commodity demand, and China’s increasing reliance on Latin American suppliers.

Producers Feeling the Financial Strain

Oklahoma’s producers—especially in beef, pork, wheat, and poultry—are navigating lower export volume, higher operating costs, and continued uncertainty in foreign markets.

Industry analysts warn that if China continues shifting its commodity purchases to other nations, the long-term impact on Oklahoma’s rural economy could deepen.
