Year-to-date exports reached US$723.8 million, reflecting the robust demand for these eco-friendly products in global markets.

The United States emerged as the largest importer, accounting for US$23.34 million, an impressive 14.39 percent growth compared to October. Japan, the second-largest market, experienced a slight decline of 10.74 percent, importing US$6.1 million. India followed with US$3.07 million, marking a 6.50 percent decrease.
