Washington state's food producers have a worldwide reputation for supplying a diverse range of high quality food and agriculture products. One of Washington's top advantages is its reliable production of high quality crops, cost-effective energy practices, and ability to quickly and efficiently ship products to the rapidly growing Asian marketplace.
Key agricultural products from Washington include apples, dairy products, potatoes, wheat, fish and shellfish, and wine.
Working with the Department of Commerce has opened up a world of opportunities to facilitate rural economic growth. Commerce support has enabled growers to successfully move sustainable agricultural wheat products into our local/regional markets and we look forward to expanding that success.
