During the nine-month period, export revenue reached US$11.98m, up from US$10.31m in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The figure also includes limited exports of salt, stone, and other related products. The rising trends were also observed on a MoM and YoY basis, as depicted by EPB data.
