The Ministry of Trade & Regional Integration (MoTRI) has reported that export performance fell short in key areas during the first eight months the fiscal year, despite overall revenue reaching 6.76 billion dollars. Direct export products were the main underperforming segment, generating 527.9 million dollars against a target of 606.8 million dollars, achieving 87pc of the goal. While the total export revenue exceeded the 5.83 billion dollar target, sectoral results showed uneven performance. Agriculture recorded 90.53pc of its target, and manufacturing stood at 87.68pc, reflecting persistent gaps in output and value addition. Mining outperformed expectations at 149.44pc, and electricity and related sectors reached 112.35pc, masking weaker results in other areas.
