1,063.2 million euros). The remaining seven countries show upward
trends.
More specifically (on the basis of export value):
• exports to Romania rose by 5.3% (from 706.9 million euros to
744.3 million euros);
• exports to Poland were significantly increased by 17.3% (from
336.3 million euros to 394.4 million euros);
• exports to the Czech Republic increased by 4.6% (from 192.1
million euros to 201 million euros);
• exports to Sweden rose by 5.6% (from 173 million euros to 182.7
million euros);
• exports to Denmark soared by 32.3% (from 125.2 million euros
to 165.6 million euros);
• exports to Hungary were significantly increased by 17.7% (from
105.5 million euros to 124.1 million euros);
• and, finally, exports to Croatia were marginally increased by
1.9% (from 79.7 million euros to 81.2 million euros).
Other European countries
Exports to Other (non EU) European Countries were reduced by a
steep 9% in 2016. This is to a great extent due to the contraction of
Greek exports to the main destination of this group of countries, i.e.
Turkey. Exports to Turkey plummeted by 21% (to 1,350.6 million
euros from 1,710.7 million euros); as a result, this country fell to the
fourth place (from third last year) in the list of Greece’s top export
destinations.
The other countries that account for substantial shares of Greek
exports show mixed trends. More specifically, on the basis of export
value:
• Exports to FYROM fell by 3.5% (from 566.3 million euros to 586.6
million euros);
• exports to Gibraltar also fell by 3.5% (from 381.4 million euros to
395.2 million euros);
• exports to Albania were significantly increased by 8.6% (from
378.4 million euros to 348.7 million euros);
• exports to Serbia were similarly increased by 7% (from 224.4 mil-
lion euros to 209.8 million euros);
• exports to Russia were marginally increased by 1.1% (from 215.5
million euros to 213.1 million euros);
• exports to Ukraine rose by 1.3% (from 200.4 million euros to
197.7 million euros);
• and exports to Switzerland rose by 2% (from 134.1 million euros
to 131.4 million euros).
• Finally, exports to Montenegro were reduced by 5.6% (to 110.8
million euros, from 117.5 million euros).
As far as the composition of exports by major product categories is
concerned, the overall contraction (-1.5%) is due to the continued
drop in fuel exports (by -9.1%).
The exports of industrial products, which account for 44% of total
exports, were almost unchanged (-0.1%) year-on-year. In contrast,
agricultural product exports rose by a spectacular 7.6%. Finally, the
exports of raw materials were marginally reduced by 0.6%, while the
—low-value— exports of the “Commodities and transactions not
classified by category” fell by 10.5%.
In more detail, the only difference in the list of the Top-10 exports
products is the re-entry of fish in the Top-5, which left confidential
items behind. As regards the Top-20, the most remarkable develop-
ment is the spectacular rise of oranges and the entry of tobacco.
The most remarkable new entries in the Top-100 Greek exports
include industrial polymers (74th), smoked fish (82nd), rice (93rd),
and sanitary fixtures (94th).
It is worth noting that, from the Top-100 products, 51 moved up in the
rankings as compared to 2015, 40 moved down, and there were 9
new entries.
