Virtual Trade with Mexico Idaho Governor Brad Little says he is starting to see early, positive results from Idaho’s recent virtual trade mission to Mexico. Little notes that Mexico is Idaho’s fourth largest export destination, accounting for the purchase of nearly $225 million in Idaho products last year alone, with much of that coming from agriculture and food processing. He says with the pandemic bringing trade missions and travel to a standstill in 2020, it was important the state find other ways to keep the lines of communication open. “We don’t’ want to disrupt the relationship we’ve got between existing businesses and Mexico, and we want to do the introductory work for new products, new commodities, new services, and make those connections. The most redeeming thing about it was the speed with which we could do meetings, instead of in a car down in Mexico City or Guadalajara going from place to place.”
