When you take out the jeans from our closet, there is a high chance they were made in Bangladesh. It is one of the world’s top garment exporters. The soybean in your morning cereal? Most likely shipped from Brazil. And the smartphone in your hand? Assembled and exported from China, the world’s electronics hub.
Behind everyday products we use is a hidden network of factories, farms, ports, and shipping routes. For many countries, exports are a major source of income. So, they work hard to lead and build a strong reputation in the specific goods they export around the world.
At Alliance Shipping, we’re proud to be a part of the global trade system. We help move goods from leading producer countries to customers worldwide. We thought it would be worthwhile to write an article about the top countries leading in the exports of specific commodities.
