TOKYO, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Japan's exports dropped from a year earlier in November for a 24th successive month, marking the longest decline since record keeping began, owing to the continued sluggish demand from overseas amid the pandemic, the government said in a report on Wednesday.
According to the Finance Ministry, exports in November fell 4.2 percent to 6.11 trillion yen (59.13 billion U.S. dollars), dragged down by slower than usual car shipments to Europe and the Middle East, as well as diesel oil exports to Australia.
