“In Brazil, which is not part of the group, non-traditional exports grew 7.8%”, the media informed.
These exports had a value that increased 15.1% in May due to the higher sales of fish, agricultural, chemical and textile products.

Likewise, the volume shipped of non-traditional products increased by 6.8% in the fifth month of the year. This, as a result of greater shipments in the fishing sector (49.6%) and the agricultural sector (6.5%), among others.
