Economically, Dubai is most famous for its oil and gas production, which only makes up less than 6% of the state's economy, and only 2% of the UAE's economy. Dubai contributes 82.2% of the UAE's non-oil exports.
The non-oil exports that come from Dubai are mainly traditional products and commodities and manufactured items. The traditional producs include things such as dried and frozen fish, dates, hides, and scrap metals. Most of these exports go to other Gulf States, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. This sector is minor compared to the manufacturing exports.
The manufactured products that Dubai exports include liquefied gase, clothing, cement, electric cables and aluminum ingots. The majority of the importers of these goods are Japan, India, China, Taiwan, and the United States.
