Rural Manufacturers in the Export Market

H. Frederick Gale

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1998, vol. 13, issue 2

Abstract: A new nationwide survey of manufacturing establishments provides information about patterns of exporting by rural and urban businesses. About half of nonmetro establishments reported exports in 1995 that amounted to 10 percent of nonmetro manufacturing shipments. Large plants account for most exports. Nonmetro exports of metal products, machinery, and electrical and transportation equipment are about equal to exports by natural resource-based industries. Nonmetro plants are slightly less likely to export than metro plants, but the difference disappears when other characteristics are taken into account.
