Solution Summary

Analysis of global food trade in relation to agriculture in Florida

Solution Preview

You haven't provided the state you want to research. Here's an example of how I would do one for Florida:

Florida produces citrus, sugarcane, a variety of fruits and vegetables, followed by cotton, hay, corn, tobacco, soybeans, and wheat. Florida leads the nation in the production of watermelons. See http://www.fas.usda.gov/htp2/circular/1997/97-08/fcoj897.htm

Florida's main agricultural export is citrus. This situation is complicated by the fact that foreigners are now purchasing citrus production facilities in Florida.
http://www.fas.usda.gov/htp2/circular/1997/97-08/fcoj897.htm

Florida imports grain products, wine, and everything else that doesn't grow well in Florida.

If you live in a different state and need help finding references for its agricultural imports and exports, let me know through feedback and I will help you further.
