Agricultural trade profile showing top imported and exported commodities. Data from FAO FAOSTAT (2018–2023).
About Portugal's Agricultural Trade
Portugal recorded cumulative agricultural exports of $33.2B and imports of $47.0B between 2018 and 2023, giving it a total agricultural trade footprint of $80.2B. The country runs a trade deficit of $13.8B over this period, making it a net agricultural importer. This positioning shapes how US tariff policy affects Portugal: net exporters are most sensitive to US import duty changes on their headline commodities, while net importers are more exposed to supply shocks and export restrictions from their sourcing partners.
The leading agricultural export from Portugal is Wine, while the largest single import is Soya beans. The tables below rank the top 10 exported and imported commodities by value for 2023, each linking to a dedicated commodity page that shows the global picture — which other countries trade the same product, and which US HTS chapter applies at the border. Use this view to identify concentration risk (too much reliance on one commodity) and to map which trade flows might be most affected by tariff shifts.
US import duties depend primarily on the product's HTS classification, not the country of origin, for most-favored-nation partners. Portugal-origin shipments may qualify for preferential (Special) rates under specific free trade agreements — consult the HTS chapter pages for each product to see exact duty rates and applicable FTAs. All data here comes from FAO FAOSTAT Trade: Crops and Livestock (TCL), reported in USD (converted from FAO 1000 USD units), covering the top 100 agricultural commodities among the top 50 trading nations.
