The combined exports of agricultural goods came to $3.12 billion over the January-April period, compared with $2.87 billion tallied a year earlier, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
By destination, exports to the US moved up 15% to $478.7 million over the period. Outbound shipments to Southeast Asia and Europe also advanced 5% and 33.1%, respectively, the data showed.
