A country’s export values in five categories are shown in a bar graph for comparison’s sake, while a table shows the percentage change in export values for the same five categories from 2015 to 2016.
With the exception of jewelry and gems, all categories saw an increase in export revenue in 2016. The export of textiles increased at the highest percentage that year.
In both years, the two most valuable exports were petroleum products and engineered goods, with respective values of approximately $61 and $58 billion in 2015 and approximately $62 billion in 2016. Agricultural and textile exports both increased, reaching almost $31 billion. In contrast, only the gem and jewelry industry saw a decline in export value, going from approximately $44 billion to $41 billion.
Textile exports, at 15.24%, had the biggest value growth of the five export categories. The export values of engineered goods, petroleum products, and agricultural products increased by 8.5%, 3%, and 0.81%, respectively, after this. In contrast, there was a 5.18% decline in the value of gems and jewelry exported.
