In United States agricultural policy, high value products (HVP) refers to agricultural products that are high in value, often but not necessarily due to processing.
HVPs can be divided into three groups:
- semi-processed products, such as fresh and frozen meats, flour, vegetable oils, roasted coffee, refined sugar;
- highly processed products that are ready for the consumer, such as milk, cheese, wine, breakfast cereals;
- 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.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
