(Israel Hayom) According to figures published Tuesday by the Israel Export Institute, during the first half of 2012 exports to the EU decreased 4%, while exports to Asia rose 14%, exports to Latin America grew by 9% and exports to Africa increased 6%. While exports to the U.S. fell 20%, this drop is accounted for by a sharp decrease in the export of pharmaceuticals (as a result of a change in Teva's target markets). Excluding this sector, exports to the U.S. increased by 3%. Israel's exports to Brazil grew 31%, exports to Russia rose 23%, and exports to Nigeria leaped 149%.
