This study examines the expanding role of air cargo services in transporting agricultural exports from California. Although air cargo accounts for a seemingly modest share of the states farm export trade, California's airborne agricultural exports in 2004 totaled $659 million, an increase of nearly 60 percent since 2000. Moreover, for several highly perishable, high value-added crops such as cherries, strawberries, asparagus and a range of fresh organically-raised produce, air cargo generally offers the only effective means for exploiting overseas markets. The principal destinations of California's airborne agricultural export trade are in the Far East, primarily Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. A much more moderate airborne export trade is conducted with Europe and Latin America. Not surprisingly, given the efficiency of modern trucking and rail operations, there is very little airborne trade with Canada and Mexico.
