Sacramento has seen positive growth in its exports over the past five years highlighted by a 23 percent increase from 2013 to 2014—$1.4 billion in goods. That’s good but Sacramento business leaders are pressing to be great and so pressed forward with the California Capital Region Metro Export Plan in the hopes of boosting those numbers. Among those taking part in the development and formulation of the plan were such local companies as Intel and Blue Diamond Growers.
