Minat V.N.

As part of the study of agricultural production, as one of the leading export-oriented sectors of the US economy, the dynamics of foreign trade in American agricultural products, which is objectively recognizable in the categorical and economic evolution of spatial patterns, is considered. The latter are considered in the context of the global regional structure of agricultural exports and imports of the United States in 1946-2019 and the features of stimulating the export of American agricultural products in the context of the main regions and countries of the world for the same period of time. Based on the synthesis of historical/evolutionary and spatial approaches, methodologically filled with methods of abstract-logical and statistical-economic analysis of official American statistics, the provisions on geo-economic conjuncture, expansionism and protectionism of US foreign trade in the world/global agricultural market are empirically proved. Keywords: US agriculture, US foreign trade, promotion of agricultural exports, spatial dynamics of foreign trade. Highlights: ♦ the spatial and temporal trends of structural changes in the sphere of US foreign trade in agricultural products, covering the main regions of the world in 1946-2019, are substantiated. The results of these trends reveal the geographical directions of foreign trade activity of the American agricultural sector of the economy, which dominates the international/global market of agricultural products; ♦ the author reveals the cause effect relationships and decisive factors that influenced the spatial structure of US foreign trade in agricultural products, which for a long time was characterized by the export orientation of national agricultural production, a strict expansionist orientation of foreign trade policy, significant state export promotion and protection of the domestic market.
