Based on the most recent data (January 2025), the top imports to the US from Mongolia by value are: Other Nuts ($1.49 Million)   Knit Sweaters ($244,000) Feldspar ($157,000) Historically, cashmere and other wool products have also been significant exports from Mongolia to the US. Here's a look at which states in the US have manufacturing related to these top imports, along with some example companies: Nuts (Other Nuts): While the specific types of "other nuts" aren't detailed in the provided data, the US has significant nut production. California: The leading producer of almonds, walnuts, and pistachios in the US. Examples include Blue Diamond Growers (almonds) in Sacramento and Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds in Lost Hills.   Georgia: A major producer of pecans. Examples include Pecan Nation in Albany.   Oregon: Known for hazelnuts (filberts). Examples include Wilco Hazelnut in Mount Angel.   Knit Sweaters (Apparel - Knit): The US has a textile and apparel manufacturing sector, although it has significantly decreased over the years due to globalization. Some production of knitwear still exists, often focusing on specialized or higher-end products. North Carolina: Has a historical and ongoing presence in textile manufacturing, including knitting. Examples include companies like Parkdale Mills (yarn production, which is a precursor to knitting) in Gastonia and some smaller knitting factories that produce specialized apparel.   California: Home to some apparel manufacturers, including those producing knitwear, particularly in the Los Angeles area. Examples can be smaller design and manufacturing houses focusing on fashion knitwear.   New York: The fashion district in New York City still has some knitwear production, often focusing on higher-end or custom designs. Feldspar (Natural Minerals & Stone): Feldspar is a common industrial mineral used in the production of glass, ceramics, paints, and other materials. The US has significant mining and processing of feldspar.   North Carolina: One of the leading states for feldspar mining. Companies like The Feldspar Corporation (part of Covia) have operations in the state.   Georgia: Also has feldspar mining operations. Idaho: Another state with feldspar mining activity. Companies such as IMERYS Performance Minerals have facilities that may process feldspar.   Cashmere and Wool Products (Apparel - Knit & Wool): While Mongolia is known for its high-quality cashmere, the US also has wool production and processing, though not typically on the same scale as cashmere. Texas: Leads the US in wool production. Companies like Chargeurs Wool USA process wool.   Wyoming and Montana: Also have significant sheep and wool production. Smaller textile mills might process wool into yarns and fabrics. Various states: There are smaller artisanal and niche manufacturers across the US that produce woolen and some cashmere blend knitwear, often focusing on high-quality and domestically sourced materials. Examples might be smaller independent design houses or companies specializing in outdoor apparel. It's important to note that while the US has the capacity to manufacture goods similar to its top imports from Mongolia, the scale of production, the specific types and qualities, and the cost competitiveness can vary significantly. For instance, while the US produces nuts, the specific "other nuts" imported from Mongolia might be types not as widely grown domestically. Similarly, while the US has textile manufacturing, the specific niche of Mongolian cashmere production is somewhat unique.
