In 2014, almost three-quarters of Minnesota's exports went to 10 countries.
I wrote about exports to Africa growing last week, but as you can see, that's not where the action is right now. Minnesota's ten biggest trade partners are Canada, China, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Belgium, South Korea, the Philippines, the U.K. and the Netherlands.
Scroll around, zoom in and click on the map. You might be surprised that Minnesota exports twice as much to Singapore as to India, or that Saudi Arabia is a bigger market than Russia.
Sorry, don't have data on type of export by country at the state level, and these numbers, like most stats, should be taken with a measure of caution. I've calculated 1996 and 2013 exports by country using quarterly historical export numbers from DEED.
