The Peach State has had another record-breaking year for international trade for the fourth consecutive year, according to a new report from the Georgia Department of Economic Development.

The 2024 report shows Georgia landed in sixth place for overall trade in the United States and export growth totaled $53.1 billion. While goods from Georgia-based companies reached 219 unique global markets, the report also reveals that Georgia’s top export destination was Canada.

This comes as the Trump administration’s trade dispute with Canada continues.
