SEOUL : South Korea's exports for the first 20 days of February fell 7.8 per cent from the same period the year before, customs agency data showed on Wednesday.
On average per working day, exports rose 9.9 per cent, as there were fewer working days due to the timing difference in the Lunar New Year holidays.
