1Table includes data available through September 30, 2004.
2In addition to the commodities listed, imported gemstones are cut, and secondary refined zinc, such fertilizers as monopotassium phosphate, and a
variety of crude construction materials are produced, but available information is inadequate to make estimates of output.
3Reported figure.
4Imported diamond cut in Israel.
5Exports; based on other countries' imports of potassium nitrate from Israel.
