Yemen Exports


According to National Geographic MapMaker (mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org) and MIT's Observatory of Economic Complexity (atlas.media.mit.edu), the following items are major exports of YEMEN: aircraft parts, animal food, automobiles, baked goods, barley, bran, buckwheat, buses, cargo and passenger ships, cement, ceramic tableware, cereal meal, clothing and textiles, coal (small amounts), coffee, combustion engines, concentrated milk, copper, corn (maize), cotton, crabs and other crustaceans, cut flowers, dried and salted seafood, electric motors, fruit juice, gold, grapes, handicrafts, khat (qat) plants, lead, liquefied natural gas, marble, medical supplies, melons, mollusks, nickel, oilseeds, onions, petroleum, pulses, rock salt, scrap copper, scrap plastic, sheep hides, soap, sugar, tea, tobacco, tropical fruit (especially bananas), vegetable oil, and wheat flour.

Certain industries — particularly the automobile industry in Yemen — experience sharp fluctuations in operations from year to year when dealing with complications caused by civil unrest, destruction, and terrorism. The automobile industry was considered to be in shambles only a few years ago but fared well last year (2017) due to an increase in orders for vehicles.

According to February 2017 statistics from the International Monetary Fund (data.imf.org), countries and territories buying and importing most of those exports include China (top importer), Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Egypt, Malaysia, the United States, South Korea, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Somalia, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Indonesia, Djibouti, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Vietnam, Argentina, Jordan, Japan, the Netherlands, Thailand, Ethiopia, Belgium, Lebanon, Eritrea, and India.
