EU agri-food exports to countries outside of the EU were valued at €11.3 billion in March, approximately €1 billion higher than in the previous month, according to the latest monthly report from the European Commission.

The report showed that the highest increase in agri-food exports was to China, which were 11.8% higher in March 2016 than in the same period last year. Over the past 12 months, exports to China increased to €2.6 billion.

The Commission revealed in early 2016 that EU agri-food exports to non-EU countries reached a record value of €129 billion in 2015. The trade balance for all EU agri-food products during the period showed a surplus in exports of about €16 billion.
