The two largest exports are sugar and garments, which each accounted for approximately one-quarter of export revenue in 1998 (roughly $122 million each).

These products accounted for over 80% of agricultural export revenue in the first quarter of 2010.

The inflation slowed during mid-1980s, however, the economy was also languid due to the decrease of oil price that reduced its export revenue dramatically.

In 1837, the first year of operations, whaling had generated export revenue of 3,000 from 100 tons of oil and 5 tons of whalebone.

If goods exported are elastic to price, their quantity demanded will increase proportionately more than the decrease in price, and total export revenue will increase.
