Sri Lanka’s November exports hit $1.27 Billion amid mixed performance

This marks a marginal growth of 0.04% compared to November 2023.
Based on provisional data released by Sri Lanka Customs, merchandise exports in November 2024 were valued at USD 943.1 million, reflecting a decline of 5.6% compared to November 2023.
The decrease is primarily attributed to reduced revenue from the export of rubber-based products, electrical and electronic components, food and beverages, and seafood.

Sri Lanka achieved higher revenue from the export of apparel and textiles, tea, rubber-based products, coconut-based products, diamonds, gems and jewelry, electronics and electronic components, spices and concentrates, and processed food and beverages.
