Annual Report: No. 26 Mexico- Aircraft exports take flight
June 16th, 2006
Mexico’s on-the-move airline industry helped boost Georgia’s export tally in 2005.
Mexico barely squeaked into the group of nations that registered more than $500 million in trade with Georgia. And it wouldn’t have made the cut except for a nearly 11 percent jump in trade in 2005.
The lion’s share of the gain came from a 55 percent jump in Georgia’s exports to Mexico, mostly aircraft. Georgia sent more than $39 million in aircraft to Mexico last year, compared to no aircraft shipments in 2004. Mexico has seen new low-fare airlines spring up.

| 5 | Computer chips | $5,743,112.00 | 3812.10% |
Georgia also exported $1.3 million in aircraft parts, double the value of a year earlier.
Mexico turned to Georgia for aircraft, medicine and computers. In exchange, it sent cars and sugar to the southern state.
Georgia’s exports of medicine to Mexico climbed 103 percent last year to total $13.5 million. Most of the cargo came in the form of hormones and retail medical remedies.
Electronics industry components to supply Mexican assembly plants also figured among the exports from Georgia, including $5.7 million in computer chips. That compares with $146,000-worth in 2004.
Passenger vehicle imports reached $298 million, although they were down 10 percent compared with 2004.
Sugar, including nearly $26 million in cane sugar and $7 million in beet sugar, emerged as the second most important product sent to Georgia from Mexico. The state registered no imports of Mexican sugar in 2004.
