Export Earnings by Category in 2015 and 2016

The bar graph compares the export earnings of a country in billions of dollars from five different product categories in 2015 and 2016 while the table data outlines the percentage change in export amount¹ in 2016 than that of the previous year².

Overall, petroleum and engineered products were the main export earners for this country both in 2015 and 2016, and the export amount increased in 2016 than the previous year³ except for gems and jewellery commodities.

In detail, the country earned approximately 220 billion dollars from its export trades in 2015 which increased by around 10 billion dollars next year. In 2015, earnings from petroleum export were over 60 billion dollars, the highest amount, while engineered goods brought in nearly 58 billion, the second-highest. Next year⁵, they made roughly 63 and 62 billion respectively. Jewellery and agricultural products consisted of 70 billion in 2015 while textile goods secured around 27 billion, which was the lowest. In 2016, the country exported just over 30 billion dollar's textiles and agro merchandise each and nearly 40 billion dollar's jewellery.

Moreover, in 2016, the value of jewellery products dropped by nearly 5%. Besides, the price of engineered goods⁹ soared¹⁰ by 8.5% while the highest increase was for textile products - over 15%. Finally, the price of petroleum and agricultural merchandise in 2016 increased by 3% and approximately 1% respectively than that of the year before.

The bar chart and the table illustrate changes of the exports¹ in five distinct industries in one nation between 2015 and 2016.

Overall, it can be seen that export value in most categories witnessed an upward trend over the given period, except for the gems and jewel industry³. Additionally, earnings from the exports of petroleum and engineered goods were the highest.

With regards to⁵ petroleum products, there was a gradual increase⁶ in export value, from just over 60 billion to approximately 63 billion dollars between 2015 and 2016. A similar growth in value⁷ was seen in the export of engineered goods, at 8.5%.

Moreover, the remaining categories recorded lower export earnings. The amount of money earned from gems and jewellery decreased significantly by 5.18%, from around 43 billion dollars in 2015 to just above 40 billion in 2016. In contrast, the export earnings of textile products experienced a 15.24% rise to over 30 billion dollars in 2016, while the figure for agricultural products was fairly steady, at around 30 billion dollars.

The given line chart¹ details how much money an unidentified country earned from exporting five different products in two consecutive years (2015 and 2016), and the table illustrates the rate of change in turnovers². The initial impression from the chart is that revenues generated from most products increased except Gems and jewelry, with textiles witnessing the most significant rise despite making the lowest incomes³. It is evident that Petroleum products were the main export commodities, despite having smaller percentile increase⁴ compared to others. In 2015, Petroleum products brought 60 billion in revenue⁵, which ranked first among five categories. This is followed⁶ by engineered goods (around 57 billion). The former then saw a 0,81%⁷ increase to approximately 63 billion, while the latter showed an 8.5% climb, reaching 62 billion in 2016. A similar picture was seen in the figure of Agricultural products⁸, increasing from just over 30 billion to nearly 33 billion (+0.81%) in the same timeframe. Textiles experienced a comparable pattern, with its figure, albeit lowest in 2015, showing a dramatic jump of 15.24 % from 27 billion in the starting year. An opposite trend was shown in the statistics of Gems and Jewelry⁹, as they dropped slightly from 43 billion in 2015 to just above 40 billion (-5.18%) in the next year.

The given graph and table illustrate the changes in export earnings for a country across several industries from 2015 to 2016 measured in billions of dollars. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that all earnings experienced rises except for gems and jewellery, which experienced a moderate drop. The majority of earnings came from petroleum and engineered goods, while textiles and engineered goods made the largest percentile¹ jumps. The two main exports were petroleum products, which went from just over $61 billion in 2015 to around $63 billion by 2016, and engineered goods ($58 billion to $62 billion). That translates to a 3% rise for petroleum and a more sizeable increase of 8.5% for engineered products. Compared to these two exports, the other products were much lower. Gems and jewellery, the only export to decrease, went down 5.18% from $43 billion to $41 billion². Despite this drop, agricultural goods were lower throughout the period at around $31 and³ just over $31 billion in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Textiles were the lowest in 2015 at around $26 billion but had pulled approximately level with agriculture by 2016.

The bar chart and table give information about a country’s export earnings from five groups of products in 2015 and 2016.

It is noticeable that export revenues in all but one of the five product categories² increased over the period shown. While petroleum products were the highest earning³ exports in both years, the textile industry saw the most significant growth in earnings⁴.

Export earnings from petroleum products rose from around $61 billion in 2015 to $63 billion in 2016, which was an increase of 3%. Income from engineered goods reached a similar level. The country’s export earnings from these goods went up by 8.5% to approximately $62 billion in 2016.

From 2015 to 2016, there was a 15.24% increase in export revenue from textiles, with earnings rising from roughly $25 billion to over $30 billion. By contrast, there was almost no change in the amount of money earned from agricultural products, which remained at just over $30 billion. Finally, the only decline in income occurred in the gems and jewellery product group, where export earnings fell by around 5%⁶ to approximately $40 billion in 2016.
