British Columbia’s exports to Asia was higher than sales to the U.S. for the first time back in August of 2011. The increase was an increase of 11 per cent and B.C.’s jobs minister Pat Bell said Friday.
Only three years ago, America was the British Columbia’s main customer for its forestry products, industrial goods and energy products.
