California enjoyed its best ever October for exports, according to an international trade report released Friday.
In October, the Golden State shipped abroad $12.91 billion in goods, which in inflation-adjusted terms is more than any other October, said Jock O’Connell, international trade adviser for Beacon Economics, which releases a monthly report on California’s international trade picture.
Airborne shipments accounted for 46.9 percent of California’s $12.91 billion in October merchandise exports, while seaborne trade represented 30.3 percent. Overland trade with Mexico and Canada, California’s two largest trading partners, made up the remaining 22.8 percent of state exports.
