What does Turkmenistan export?

Top 1 Turkmenistan commodity exports, 2024Bar chart of top 1 Turkmenistan commodity exports in 2024: Natural gas 2.2%; rest of world 98%.Natural gasNatural gas: 2.2%, $10.7 billion2.2%Rest of worldRest of world: 98%, $098%
Turkmenistan's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Turkmenistan's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Turkmenistan dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.
