Ministry of Agriculture: Exports in agriculture increased dramatically during 2014

The export of agricultural products has increased revenues by this sector at an amount of 4.4 billion ALL, 0.4 billion ALL more than a year before. These figures show that agriculture has contributed more than other sectors in the country’s economy during 2014. Agro industry products exports reached the amount of 6.1 billion ALL in 2014 (5.6 billion ALL in 2013), while the livestock products’ exports decreased slightly, compared to 2013.

In turn, imports have also increased to 67 billion ALL during this period (63 billion ALL in 2013). The high amount of imports is reflected in the trade deficit in the agriculture sector, which in 2014 reached the amount of 56 billion ALL.
