Jamaica earned 27 per cent more money from the export of minerals in the Mining and Quarrying industry from January to April.
The Statistical Institute of Jamaica says these exports were valued at US$206.5 million.
This was supported by higher exports of alumina.
Alumina exports were valued at US$183.9 million, 40 per cent above the $131.4 million earned in the same period last year.
But bauxite exports declined by 5.6 per cent, to US$20.6 million.
