The bar chart illustrates the earnings (in billions) of exportation regarding five different products (petroleum products, engineered goods, gems and jewellery, agricultural products, textiles) in 2015 and 2016, while the table compares the difference in proportions between the two years. Overall, petroleum and engineered items were responsible for most of the exports, whereas textiles had the most significant percentage difference.
In 2015, petroleum products contributed nearly 60 billion dollars, which was the highest among others. It then experienced a 3% rise in the following year. Similarly, engineered items had risen 8.5% throughout the years, from 56 billion dollars to 62 billion dollars, which was approximately the same level as petroleum products in the same years.
On the other hand, the remaining products for exportation had a relatively low proportion. Gems and jewellery had a slight decline (5.18%). It stood at 43 billion dollars in 2015 and then dropped to 40 billion dollars. The value of agricultural products barely changed, accounting for around 30 billion dollars during the recorded period. Despite the remarkable increase regarding the value of textiles, it was still the least favorable category for exportation.
