Gov. Andy Beshear announced Kentucky once again set an all-time record for products shipped globally, with $50.6 billion in exports in 2025. This year’s record represents a 5.65% increase over 2024.
“The global demand for Kentucky-made products, made by hard-working Kentuckians right here in the commonwealth, has never been higher,” said Gov. Beshear. “For the third consecutive year we have set a new state record for exports, and that wouldn’t be possible without great companies and our hard-working and talented workforce. The commonwealth’s commitment to developing partnerships all over the globe is critical for our long-term economic success. Now more than ever, the rest of the world is realizing that you just can’t beat a Kentucky-made product.”
