Best Answer

Export has two senses, one is countable, the other isn't. [Oxford]

  1. [uncountable] the selling and transporting of goods to another country

  2. [countable, usually plural] a product that is sold to another country

    • a fall in the value of exports

My guess is you're talking about different products being exported rather than the process of exporting. Go with exports (as evidenced in the example sentence)
