This, also US agricultural exports play a major role in US imperialism. Michael Hudson's talks on the subject are extremely enlightening- this one, on the broader "super imperialism" (recently bought his book on the subject, yet to delve in) and this one on the subject of the World Bank and US agricultural imperialism in particular.
The TL,DR is that the US heavily discourages agricultural self-sufficiency across the global south, and through this weaponizes/orchestrates famines across the world as one weapon of its empire.
