Idaho may be known for its scenic beauty and agriculture, but it’s also a powerhouse in global trade.
With more than $4 billion in exports every year, the state’s economy is driven by everything from dairy and wheat to high tech and manufactured goods, supporting more than 16,000 jobs. While small businesses make up 85% of the state’s exporters, many are feeling the pressure from tariffs.
Rendi Bell, chair of the Idaho District Export Council, and Kristin Kyle-McQuesten, treasurer of the Idaho District Export Council, joined Idaho Matters to take a closer look at how Idaho businesses are navigating global challenges.
