Two Months Export Comparative
The onset of winter months ending cycle of cultivation season, there is decline in production resulting in decrease of export as well. Except for potato which is the highest export commodity, other commodities recorded huge decrease, with no fruits and nuts exported during the month of November. However, harvest season of cardamom in Southern Dzongkhags increased the export value of spices almost doubly during November month.
