Abstract

Over the past three decades, the U.S. food industry has experienced various shifts in regional farm production, market supply, and consumer demand. These shifts have occurred as a result of changing technological, socioeconomic, and demographic conditions. This study analyzes the regional trends and spatial characteristics of U.S. food and nonfood production and consumption during the last 35 years. The United States is divided into eight regions, and farm products are separated into seven product groupings. Our analysis provides important information concerning the surplus and deficit trends of food products by regions and sectors. For example, the Northeast region is deficit in all food groups, while the Mountain region is deficit only in the poultry group. The West North Central region has the greatest surplus supply of meat animals, dairy products, and food grains, while the East South Central region has the greatest surplus in poultry and nonfood products. The Pacific region has the greatest surplus of fruits and vegetables.
