<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cExports of manufactured goods in September 2020, which made up 87.7 per cent of total exports, picked up by 16.3 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM77.99 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe expansion was due mainly to higher shipments of electrical and electronics (E&E) products, rubber products, other manufactures, especially solid-state storage devices (SSD), iron and steel products, as well as optical and scientific equipment,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said exports of agriculture goods surged by 26.6 per cent to RM6.55 billion compared to September 2019, buoyed mainly by higher exports of palm oil and palm oil-based agriculture products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MITI said E&E products also drove exports to ASEAN in September 2020, which contributed RM38.79 billion, or 24.9 per cent, to Malaysia\u2019s total trade, registering a 0.5 per cent increase from September 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExports rebounded by 6.7 per cent to RM23.1 billion, backed mainly by higher exports of E&E products which increased by 47.8 per cent or RM3.2 billion,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides, robust export growth to China continued as it contributed 19.8 per cent to Malaysia\u2019s total trade in September 2020, recording an expansion of 21.5 per cent y-o-y to RM30.85 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExports to China surged by 41.9 per cent to RM15.56 billion, mainly on higher exports of E&E products, iron and steel products, as well as palm oil and palm oil-based agriculture products,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MITI said exports to the US remained strong and posted a double-digit growth of 22.1 per cent to RM10.32 billion in September 2020 due to increases in exports primarily for rubber products, E&E products, wood products, machinery, equipment and parts, as well as other manufactures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It added that exports to the EU rebounded with a double-digit growth of 28.6 per cent to RM8.63 billion, underpinned by higher exports of E&E products, rubber products, palm oil and palm oil-based agriculture products, as well as manufactures of metal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, manufactured goods cushioned exports to Japan edged down by 11.3 per cent to RM4.76 billion, owing mainly to lower exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe contraction, however, was cushioned by higher exports of manufactured goods which improved by 1.6 per cent to RM3.67 billion,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
