Sectoral data showed a 7.36% monthly increase in products of agriculture, hunting, and related services, a 2.36% rise in forestry and logging products, and a 2.27% decline in fish and aquaculture products.
Among main groups, non-perennial crops saw the largest monthly gain at 9.61%, followed by perennial crops at 11.30%, and live animals and animal products at 3.07%. Citrus fruits stood out with a remarkable annual increase of 171.38%, the highest among all subgroups. Other tree and bush fruits and nuts led monthly gains with a 29.64% rise.
