Trade
Trade is critical to our national economy with over 10 million U.S. jobs depending on trade. For example, in 2016, Kansas exports were $10.1 billion, supporting thousands of jobs in our state. Trade is also an integral part of our state economy as it exports a wide range of products from all types of agricultural commodities to aircraft parts and industrial equipment. Nearly one third of farm income is based on foreign exports. With over 95 percent of the world’s consumers living beyond our borders, we must aggressively work to tap those markets.
