The given bar graph illustrates the changes in export earnings for a country

across several industries in 2015 and 2016 in billions of dollars. Overall, in 2016 all of
the industries have witnessed rises except that for gems and jewellery which
experienced a moderate drop. Although the majority of earnings came from petroleum
and engineered goods, the textiles goods made the largest percentile jumps.
The two main exports were petroleum products, which went from just over $ 61
billion in 2015 to around $63 billion by 2016, and engineered goods ($58 billion to $62
billion). That value translates to a 3% rise for petroleum and a more significant increase
of 8.5% for engineered products.

Compared to these two products, the other products were much lower. In 2016,
Gems and jewellery was the only export to decrease which went down 5.18% from $43
billion to $41 billion. Despite this drop, Textiles has increased to around $ 31 billion
after being the lowest product during 2015. Obviously, agricultural goods were the
lowest throughout the period at around $31 and just over $31 billion in 2015 and 2016,
respectively.
