The state's strong manufacturing sector has been able to leverage its expertise and reputation for quality to attract international buyers, adding to the overall growth in exports.The increase in international trade activity has also been driven by efforts to diversify South Dakota's trading partners. The state has been actively seeking out new markets in emerging economies, as well as expanding its presence in established markets such as Canada and Mexico.Governor Kristi Noem has hailed the increase in international trade activity as a sign of South Dakota's growing economic strength and resilience.
