News: Exports increase across Sheffield city region
The South Yorkshire International Trade Centre (SYITC) has seen a 20 per cent increase in export documentation based on statistics for April and May 2012 compared to the same months a year ago.
SYITC is a not for profit organisation providing international trade support throughout South Yorkshire. It is a partnership between local chambers of commerce.
The figures also show that export documentation produced was worth more than £19m during May alone. This represents around 20 per cent of overall exports for the region, as many products are provided to the EU and North America, which do not need documentation, or are sent indirectly through UK supply chains.
The United Arab Emirates, Turkey and India remain the top countries for export documentation, and the month of May saw a 100 per cent increase in consignments to China and a 46 per cent rise to India.
Michelle Daniel, international trade manager at SYITC, said: "It is extremely encouraging to see such positive figures from the Sheffield city region, particularly as they are going against the current national trend.
"International trade is an increasingly vital area of business growth and it's important that businesses look to global markets to provide them with the opportunity to generate vital revenue, ultimately having a positive effect on our economy."
