Maine's exports were down 29% in August, according to the latest report from the Maine State Economist Office. Patrick Woodcock, president of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, said, "Maine is extremely exposed to exports and imports from Canada, and there has been a lot of modifications with trade policies." Canada is by far Maine's largest trading partner. Forestry products, seafood, and energy account for much of that economic exchange.
