Non-petroleum exports amounted to US$ 33.97 billion, up by 9.01 per cent from the prior year.

Key contributors to merchandise growth included petroleum products, electronic goods, engineering goods, meat, dairy and poultry products and drugs and pharmaceuticals. Petroleum product exports rose to US$ 9.59 billion from US$ 7.12 billion, an increase of 34.66 per cent, and electronic goods climbed to US$ 5.18 billion from US$ 3.69 billion, up 40.31 per cent. Engineering goods edged up to US$ 10.35 billion, meat, dairy and poultry products rose to US$ 0.55 billion and drugs and pharmaceuticals reached US$ 2.66 billion.

Other sectors showing notable increases included other cereals, handicrafts excluding hand made carpet, marine products, coal and iron ore. On a destination basis, several markets posted strong gains, led by Singapore, Sri Lanka and Tanzania, while import sources recording higher values included China, Russia and Saudi Arabia. The government characterised the figures as preliminary estimates that will be revised as more detailed data become available.
