Salem - Mexico is again the top export market for Oregon Christmas trees this year.
Oregon Department of Agriculture officials say the state remains the nation's top producer of Christmas trees and expects to sell as many as 8 million trees this holiday season. About 13 percent of the state's harvest will be bound for Mexico.
Trees are already headed for Pacific Rim countries, Puerto Rico, and other faraway markets.
Domestic sales are expected to be stable despite the national economic meltdown.
Industry officials say they actually see more Christmas tree sales during a soft economy. |
