The share of food in merchandise exports: grain, meat, dairy products, fish, fruit, beverages, oils.

The largest shares come not from the biggest producers but from small countries with a single export crop: coffee, cocoa, bananas.
Important: It includes beverages and vegetable oils but not agricultural raw materials such as cotton, rubber and hides — those have a separate indicator.
