The September 2019 result was down 59.9% from a year ago as per daily average numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Exports came out to USD 18.74 billion, with a daily average down 11.6% from September 2018.

Its yearlong forecast slid from USD 56.7 billion as of last July to a current USD US$ 41.8 billion, which would be a 28% drop relative to 2018.
