Notes: Averages are calculated based on years for which data are available (for South Sudan, data are available only for 2012). Data are based on national systems of accounts and are presented according to six categories of exports specializations (food and agriculture, fuels, manufactured goods, mixed exporters, ores and metals and services). A country is classified under a given category if the share of exports in that category accounts for more than 45 per cent of total exports, based on values during the period 2009–2012. Mixed exporters are countries in which no single category accounts for more than 45 per cent of total exports. The sum of the shares of the three main economic sectors is not always 100 per cent due to discrepancies between total value added and the sum of value added across the three sectors in the original data and due to rounding.
