First, the overall export growth has maintained steady growth, and the fluctuation range of growth rate has increased. In 28, the export of agricultural products in our province maintained a steady growth, but the year-on-year growth rate of exports in a single month has been in a state of great fluctuation. At the beginning of the year, due to the negative impact of the Japanese "Poison jiaozi Incident" and its related reasons, the export of agricultural products in our province showed negative growth for two consecutive months in February and March, dropping by 8.1% and 6.1% respectively. With the reduction of the impact of the incident and the relaxation of the export environment, exports gradually picked up. In July, August and September, the export of agricultural products reached 97 million US dollars, 87 million US dollars and 85 million US dollars respectively, up by 23.8%, 16.3% and 22.6% respectively.

The average export price of peanuts and products increased by 36.4%, the average export price of meat products increased by 25.2%, and the average export price of apple juice increased by 38.7%. The export quantity of aquatic products, vegetables, fruits and products, peanuts and products and meat products decreased by 6.2%, 5%, 5.4%, 18.7% and 32% respectively.

Exports to the European market grew strongly, while exports to the United States and South Korea weakened, while exports to Japan, the traditional market, declined.
