Jamaica earned US$61.4 million more from Mining and Quarrying exports for the first five months of the year.
In its latest International Merchandise Trade Bulletin, the Statistical Institute of Jamaica said these exports were valued at US$290.8 million.
For January to May 2023, exports in that category earned the country US$229.4 million.
STATIN says the 2024 income was due mainly to the 39.2 per cent increase in alumina earnings, which was valued at US$260.8 million, compared to US$187.4 million in 2023.
The value of bauxite exports, however, decreased by 15.5 per cent to US$25.2 million.
