The chart below shows the value of one country's exports in various categories during 2015 and 2016. The table shows the percentage change in each category of exports in 2016 compared with 2015.
The bar chart illustrates the value of five different products in one country's exports in 2015 and 2016, and the table compares the percentage of change in each exported product between 2015 and 2016. Looking from an
overall
perspective, it is readily apparent that petroleum goods had the most revenue in both 2015 and 2016.
Also
, most product types saw an increase from 2015 to 2016 except for one category. In 2015, just above 60
billion
dollars
of export revenue was from petroleum products, and in 2016, it rose by 3%. The value of exporting engineered goods was not so far from petroleum items, only 3
billion
dollars
less, but it experienced a considerable jump, 8.5%.
While
approximately 31
billion
dollars
of the country's export income was related to agricultural stuff in 2015, textiles provided only 25
billion
dollars
, making it the least valuable category.
However
, in 2016, the figures for both categories became equal, reaching 32
billion
dollars
. The only product type that saw a decrease was gems and jewellery,
although
it was not significant. The figure for gems and jewellery was about 43
billion
dollars
in 2015 and fell by 5.18% to 41
billion
dollars
in 2016.
