I’m not sure what criteria this is based on. Missouri has cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, goats, cotton, soybeans, rice, and corn as our major agricultural exports.

We also supply Canada, Mexico, China, South Korea, and Japan with food

Corporate greed is running up food prices, not supply chain costs. When you live in the same area as the products are grown & raised, the cost of those products should not rise almost 400% in five years.
