North Dakota is a landlocked state whose trade profile is dominated by agricultural commodities, particularly wheat, soybeans, and sunflower products, along with significant petroleum and coal exports. The state relies heavily on overland transportation and cross-border trade with Canada, its largest trading partner. Energy sector growth has expanded North Dakota's export base beyond traditional agriculture in recent years.
North Dakota's primary exports are agricultural goods such as wheat, soybeans, and sunflower oil, as well as petroleum crude oil and refined energy products stemming from the Bakken formation.
As a landlocked state, North Dakota relies on rail networks, trucking corridors, and land border crossings into Canada to move its agricultural and energy exports to domestic and international markets.
Canada is by far North Dakota's largest export destination, followed by Mexico and various Asian markets that purchase the state's grain and oilseed commodities.
