Which are the world's most diversified exporting nations?

EUROPEAN countries are highly diversified exporters. Italy is the most diversified in the world—its biggest five export products, which include cars and footwear, made up 12.9% of total exports in 2005 according to the World Bank's “World Trade Indicators 2008” published on Tuesday June 17th. Newer members of the EU benefit from cheaper labour costs and so export more factory-made goods. America also exports a wide range of products—its top exports include high-tech products such as microcircuits.
