COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — State officials say businesses in Ohio
are exporting at a record pace and set a new state record last year.
The
Ohio Development Services Agency says state exports in 2013 reached
$50.5 billion worth of goods. Exports went to more than 200 countries
and territories. The state has a presence in markets that include
Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, India, Israel, Japan and Mexico.
Development
director David Goodman says Ohio offers businesses the chance to
compete globally by not imposing a tax on goods or services sold outside
of the state.
The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/1kEPVnX ) that last year was Ohio’s
third consecutive record-setting year.
Transportation equipment was the state’s top export product, with 32
percent of total exports. Machinery was next with 14 percent, followed
by chemicals at 13 percent.
