Foreign trade has become increasingly important for companies in the Osnabrück-Emsland-Grafschaft Bentheim region in recent years. This emerges from an analysis by the regional Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK). According to this, the export rate of companies increased by five percentage points from 30 to 35 percent from 2010 to 2021. The quota describes the ratio of exports to gross domestic product. According to the IHK, foreign trade created 8,000 new jobs in the same period. Companies from the region made most of their foreign sales in the USA and China, among other places.
