What does Singapore produce?
Singapore is not in the top ten producers of any commodity tracked here.
What does Singapore export?
Singapore's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Singapore's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Singapore dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.
Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Singapore's own $12.4 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Gold alone is 87% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Singapore compares with other countries.
