Wyoming's trade activity is dominated by its natural resources sector, with coal, trona (soda ash), and petroleum products representing the bulk of its export value. The state is the largest coal-producing state in the U.S. and a leading global supplier of soda ash, which is exported to glass and chemical manufacturers worldwide. Wyoming's landlocked position requires dependence on rail transport to Pacific and Gulf Coast ports for international shipments.

Wyoming's Green River Basin holds the world's largest known trona deposits, making the state the leading global producer of natural soda ash, which is a critical input for glass manufacturing, detergents, and chemical production worldwide.
Wyoming relies on BNSF and Union Pacific rail lines to transport coal and soda ash to Pacific Northwest ports such as those in Washington and Oregon, as well as Gulf Coast terminals, for loading onto international cargo vessels.
