The graph compares the volumes of export in a country over a decade starting from 2000. In general, it is clear that industrial export figures grew substantially while exports from agriculture and other industries witnessed a marked decline over the period given despite the initial improvements.
In detail, agricultural export volume initially accounted for most foreign sales, standing at just over 4 metric tons in 2000. This figure later grew to a peak of 6 metric tons in 2003, thereafter which it halved in the following year. It experienced a gradual downward trend in the second half of the period, finally reaching a chart low of about 1 metric ton. Similarly, the amount of export from “other” category more than doubled from its initial standing of 2 metric tons in the first four years, followed by a period of stability at 4 metric tons until 2007. This picture, however, changed once the number started to progressively declined to half that amount.
Industrial export volumes, on the other hand, recorded the most striking change; the figure for this group had gone up by a hefty 5 metric tons by the end of the period despite a negligible decrease from around 2.5 metric tons initially.
