This decreased by 7.27% to reach 59.43 during April 2021, compared to March 2021 when it reached 64.09, due to the market conditions and availability in inventory.
A decrease was also seen in the manufacture of machinery and equipment, which reached 167.63 during April 2021. This was a decrease of 12.92% compared to March 2021, when it reached 192.50, due to the market conditions and the decrease in exports.
