Question: What is Tennessee’s second largest agricultural crop export after soybeans?

Answer: Upland cotton. Upland cotton is the second largest traditional agricultural crop export from Tennessee. While corn, is a massive commodity in the state, large portions are consumed within the domestic supply chain rather than being the top international export. And when looking at the state’s total global agricultural and forestry trade, distilled spirits often trade places as the massive secondary export powerhouse.
