Asian businesses and consumers purchased over $1 billion in Maine products in 2010, more than doubling the total exports there in 2001. China, Japan, and South Korea have all shown tremendous growth over the past ten years and become critical destinations for Maine’s manufacturers, service providers, and educational institutions.

The Maine International Trade Center (MITC) created the Asia Desk in 2001 to work with companies in these growing markets. The Trade Center’s excellent research capacities, educational programming, and overseas activities such as the 2007 and 2011 trade missions to South Korea have assisted hundreds of Maine companies in accessing the lucrative Asian market.
