The traditional exports increased by nine per cent to $839.2 million largely driven by improved performance in the export of cashew nuts, coffee, sisal and tobacco. The improved performance of export of cashew nuts was a result of increase in both volume and price, while that of coffee and sisal was driven by price changes. The export value of tobacco was due to an increase in volume.
