Corn exports were one of several surprises in US trade figures in 2019, which fell sharply in 2019 from the previous year. Corn exports fell 36.5 percent, or $ 4.9 billion, the largest historical decline recorded, prompting the price to rise compared to last year. The biggest drop in 2019 exports - compared to the previous year - occurred in the area of civil aircraft, or 22 percent to $ 44 billion.
The dramatic figures in the development of US crude exports and imports over the past 27 years (from 1992 to 2019) show that last year it recorded the strongest drop in the oil trade deficit last year.
In 1992, the United States imported oil and petroleum products worth $ 51.604 billion, exported $ 7.619 billion, recording a deficit of $ 43.984 billion, and in 1993, oil imports were worth $ 51.504 billion, and exports worth $ 7.502 billion, to register the balance as a deficit of 44.002 billion Dollars.

And the verse was completely reversed in the first year of the third millennium to record the value of American oil imports numbers from three levels for the first time in the history of the United States, without corresponding with a similar development in the value of exports, and the logical result, recording the US oil trade balance deficit of three ranks also, which is A trend that has held steadily for the next decade (from 2000 to the end of 2010).
In 2000, the value of the United States' oil imports jumped from $ 67.807 billion in 1999 to $ 120.279 billion, and exports slightly increased to $ 12.013 billion, so the oil trade balance recorded a deficit of $ 108.266 billion.
