Utah has been an overachiever for years when it comes to the state’s volume of import/export business and a new report finds international trade continues to be among the major drivers behind one of the country’s leading economies.

Utah’s international goods exports in 2023 totaled $17.4 billion, generating over $4.0 billion in earnings and 71,891 jobs, according to a report released this week by the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute.
