Which of these export categories recorded the highest year-on-year growth in April-October of FY 2026-27?
- A.Petroleum products
- B.Electronic goods
- C.Other cereals
- D.Engineering goods
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is other cereals, which grew 109.74% year on year and topped the list of leading export categories for April-October of FY 2026-27. The grouping covers grains such as rye, barley, oats, fonio and quinoa, and leaves out wheat, rice, maize and millets. Option A, petroleum products, did grow strongly at 47.71%, but that is well short of the cereals figure. Option B, electronic goods, rose 46.92% over the seven months, placing it just behind petroleum products rather than at the top. Option D, engineering goods, grew 22.00%, a solid double-digit gain but the smallest of the four choices offered here. Seven of the ten leading export categories managed double-digit growth in this period, so the distinction being tested is which one led the table.
