The two graphs depict the value of exports between the years 2000 and 2005, plotting the total quantity and the amounts for three different wares: fuel, food and manufactured goods.
As can be seen from the graph, the value of exports, starting from 300 ‘000 millions dollars in 2000, decreased slightly until 2002. In an opposite way, over the next year the total amount of exports saw a significant growth. In the following two years, the profit gradually increased, for instance it reached a peak of more than 400 ‘000 million dollars in 2005.
Looking at the second figure, we can notice that the earnings coming from fuel export decreased steadily from 2000 to 2005, touching a low point of 20 ‘000 dollars in the last year. On the other hand, the amount of dollars generated from the export of manufactured goods experienced a fluctuation of around 10 ‘000 million dollars. The profit induced by the export of food, instead, remained fairly stable over the six years, always below the threshold of 10 ‘000 million dollars.
Overall, we can conclude that while the total value of exports had a trend initially downward and then upward, the amount relative to specific goods remained stable or decreased over the time.
