According to figures disclosed by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, the country exported US$ 429 million more than it imported early this year up to the third week of February, against a surplus of US$ 1.954 billion recorded in the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p> Last week, Brazil exported US$ 370 million more than it imported. The figure represents the difference between exports, which totalled US$ 4.703 billion, and imports, which reached US$ 4.333 billion. The result increased the year\u2019s trade surplus to US$ 1.721 billion.<\/p>\n<p> Sales abroad rose 3% in 2012, but imports rose 10%, which stunts a significant improvement in the balance of trade result.
