There was a decline of 24.4% in exports of finished products due to the performance of auto, earthmoving machinery, fuel oil, freight vehicles, aluminum oxides and hydroxides, aircraft and pneumatics. <\/p>\n<p>Sales of basic goods declined 22.6% due, mainly, to soybean meal, iron ore, crude oil, maize grains, beef, tobacco leaves and coffee grains. In turn, exports of semi-finished increased 8.9% with higher sales of crude soybean oil, semi-finished gold, wood pulp and semi-finished iron and steel. <\/p>\n<p>Imports had a daily average of US$ 636 million last week, which means a 30.8% decline over August&rsquo;s first week of last year.
