According to the Oregon International Trade Office, the state's exports increased by 15% from the previous year, totaling $25 billion in goods and services.This significant growth in international trade can be attributed to a number of factors, including a strong global demand for Oregon's key exports such as agriculture products, electronics, and machinery.
