News Date: 03/22/2011

Governor Bob McDonnell announced that in 2010, despite a worldwide recession and a statewide drought that impacted several key commodities, Virginia exports totaled $2.24 billion. That is only slightly behind the record $2.3 billion for agricultural exports in 2009.  Additionally, 2011 is already shaping up to be another very good year. Year-to-date numbers are up two percent over 2010 figures which bodes well for the rest of the year.  For more information, click here.
