Among these products, the best performing exports included grapes, avocados, and squid. As regards traditional exports, the ministry announced that during the first five months of 2018 these exports totalled US$14.202bn, up 17.3% compared with the same period in 2017. This growth owed much to an increase in oil, natural gas, and mining exports.
