Wyoming's trade activity is dominated by energy commodities, particularly coal, trona (natural soda ash), and crude oil, making it one of the most resource-export-dependent states in the U.S. Soda ash derived from Wyoming's vast trona deposits is a significant manufactured export used in glass production and chemical processing worldwide. As a landlocked state, Wyoming relies entirely on rail and truck transport to reach export terminals on the Gulf Coast and West Coast.
Wyoming's primary exports are coal, soda ash (processed from trona), crude petroleum, and bentonite, with energy and mineral commodities accounting for the overwhelming majority of the state's export value.
Wyoming's Green River Basin contains the world's largest known trona deposits, making the U.S.—and Wyoming specifically—the leading global exporter of natural soda ash, which is a critical input for glass manufacturing, detergents, and chemical production worldwide.
Wyoming has no direct port access, so all export commodities must travel by rail or truck to distant seaports, primarily through West Coast ports such as Long Beach and Oakland or Gulf Coast terminals, adding significant freight costs to Wyoming's export supply chain.
