High value products (HVP): Agricultural products that
are high in value, often but not necessarily due to processing. HVPs can be
divided into three groups: 1) semi-processed products, such as fresh and frozen
meats, flour, vegetable oils, roasted coffee, refined sugar; 2) highly processed
products that are ready for the consumer, such as milk, cheese, wine, breakfast
cereals; and 3) high-value unprocessed products that are also often
consumer-ready, such as fresh and dried fruits and vegetables, eggs, and nuts.
In recent years HVPs have accounted for a greater percentage than bulk
commodities in total value of U.S. agricultural exports.
