The bar graph given compares how the value of the exportation of different
goods
varied across two years, 2015 and 2016.
Overall
, if we take the five categories in combination, it is evident that petroleum and engineering
goods
had the highest exportation rate,
while
textiles had the lowest in both time periods. Regarding 2015,
products
relating to petrol had the highest exportation rate at exactly $60
billion
, closely followed by engineered
goods
just a small amount lower. As far as gems and jewellery are concerned, they reached more than $40
billion
in 2015; meanwhile, $10
billion
lower, at $30
billion
gained from exporting agricultural
products
.
This
leaves textiles, the lowest, at less than $30
billion
. In terms of 2016, petroleum
products
still remained the highest, with more than $60
billion
, equivalent to
goods
of engineering,
also
at the same value. Accessories were lower than the previous year, at exactly $40
billion
,
whereas
exported agricultural
products
were almost the same as in 2015. Even though textiles were the lowest
last
year, they underwent an increase and achieved the same number as agricultural
products
, at more than $30
billion
.
