There are rich resources in Central and South America, and mining products export plays an important role in the regional economic development. In this paper, the mining products trade information of more than ten years in Central and South America is collected, and then the authors point out that a "diversified export" strategy has been implemented by Central and South America in recent years for reducing the dependence on the economy of the United States, and the export of Central and South America is continuously rising to China but declining to the United States because they are benefited from the great demands of China's development on resources. However, along with the development of the industrialization in the countries of Central and South America, increasingly more resources will be consumed in this region. Therefore, some Central and South American countries will reduce their energy and mining products exports in the future in the condition of meeting their own needs.
