I think it's tied to the logistics/shipping industry. No matter where you are in Europe, at least 1/3 of trucks are from Poland (source: number I've made up, just to say that trucks from Poland are everywhere).
I am surprised that cz isn't the top exporter of beer. But I know about the microscopes.
Germany has the biggest sex parties for sure. But they are not so much exported as other people come for them.
Am I reading this correctly? This is a list of things where the top global exporter is a european nation?
That's my interpretation as well, they sought out a commodity for each country which they are the lead exporter for.
My follow-up question is then: Shouldn't countries be able to appear multiple times in a list of that criteria, if they're a top exporter in multiple industries? Were those secondary industries excluded intentionally, or do they not exist?
Might just be whichever thing they export most out of the things they are the top exporter of. But honestly the graphic is worded a bit strange.
I find it most interesting that Switzerland is leading in gold. Because they don't produce gold, they import unrefined gold and export it refined.
