The surplus resulted from US$ 4.89 billion worth of exports and US$ 4.5 billion in imports. As a result, the year-to-date trade balance result, which had a deficit, shifted into a US$ 15 million surplus. The information was released this Monday (16th) by the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade.<\/p>\n<p>Month-to-date, there is a US$ 108 million surplus, as against a US$ 275 million deficit in the first week.<\/p>\n<p>Exports averaged at US$ 979.2 million per day, up 16.9% from the first week. Manufactured and basic goods exports accounted for the increase. Semi-manufactured goods exports were the only category to see a decline.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured goods exports were up 21.5%, particularly aircraft, passenger cars, auto parts, tractors and land levellers. Basic goods, exports were up 20.2% due to iron ore, crude oil, soy bran, poultry, and coffee.
