It's thought the weaker pound and the Brexit effect are leading to more exports for companies in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.
New national figures show export orders from across the UK rose last month at the fastest pace since April 2010, and at the second highest rate since the survey began.
It's partly being put down to a weaker pound.
Cartwright and Butler in Gilberdyke have seen a 100% increase in exports which is partly due to increased demand in South East Asia for their biscuits, chutneys and condiments (pictured).
