AGOA (including GSP) imports for 2021 totaled $6.7 billion, up 59.5 percent, compared to $4.2 billion in 2020. This was mostly due to an increase in imports of energy-related products which totaled $1.88 billion in 2021, up 165.9 percent, compared to $707.3 million in 2020. However, non-oil AGOA trade rose by 40.5 percent to $4.8 billion in 2021, compared to $3.5 billion in 2020. Several non-oil sectors experienced sizable increases in AGOA imports during this period, including textiles and apparel ($1.4 billion in 2021, up 16.7 percent, compared to $1.2 billion in 2020); transportation equipment ($948.7 million in 2021, up 45.7 percent, from $651.0 million in 2020); minerals and metals ($897.2 million in 2021, up 167.1 percent, from $335.9 million in 2020); agricultural products ($715.1 million in 2021, up 14 percent, compared to $627.0 million in 2020); and chemicals and related products ($404.1 million in 2021, up 21.7 percent, from $332.1 million in 2020).
