<p>Top Selling Export from Each State<br>
</p>
<p><b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tinyurl.com/jlrwljg">http://tinyurl.com/jlrwljg</a></b></p>
<p>The United States exported a total of $2.26 trillion worth of
goods and services in 2015, down slightly from a record high of
$2.38 trillion in 2014. Exports accounted for an estimated 12.6%
of total U.S. GDP and were a significant part of every state’s
economy. Without exception, each state in the country exported
more than $1 billion of goods in 2015.
</p>
<p>To determine the top exported products in each state, 24/7 Wall
St. reviewed export data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Not all
states engage in international trade to the same degree.
Washington, for example, exported more than $50 billion worth of
airplanes and airplane parts in 2015. Meanwhile, South Dakota’s
largest export, pork, was worth just $145 million. In some states,
the largest export would not even fall within the top 25 exports
in another state.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many products exist within a global supply chain and are often
developed at their different stages across the country and around
the world. An export product’s state of origin is defined as the
state that actually ships the product abroad, and not necessarily
the state that manufactured the product. Therefore, exports do not
always reflect which state the product was originally manufactured
or produced.</p>

<p><strong>12. Idaho</strong><br>
<strong>> Largest export:</strong> Memory chips<br>
<strong>> 2015 memory chips value:</strong> $797.8 million<br>
<strong>> Pct. change in memory chips export value (2014-2015):</strong>
-43.3%<br>
<strong>> Memory chips as share of total state exports:</strong>
18.6%</p>
<p>The product most Americans would immediately associate with Idaho
is potatoes. However, a massive share of Idaho’s substantial
potato crop never leaves the United States, and because it is
landlocked, potatoes may be processed or shipped to other states
before they leave to destinations abroad. For this reason, Idaho’s
potatoes are only the eighth largest state export, behind, among
other goods, silver and oscilloscopes and other spectrum
analyzers. The state’s largest export is memory chips, which is
not too surprising given that Micron Technologies, a major chip
manufacturer, is headquartered in the state capital of Boise.</p>
