Arizona exported $24.7 billion worth of goods during 2019, a 9.7% increase over the $22.51 billion worth of goods exported from the state in 2018, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey called the new export value a “record” high.
“Increasing trade means more jobs and opportunities for Arizonans,” Ducey said in a statement. “Our relationships with our largest trading partners have never been stronger, and with the recent ratification of the [United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement], we’re ready to take these partnerships even further.”
Mexico is the purchaser of the largest share of Arizona’s exported goods, buying $8.19 billion worth of products from Arizona in 2019, an increase of 7% from the $7.65 billion purchased a year earlier 2018.
