Since I'd rather know than wonder I looked up Syrian exports at the U.S. State Department site. Natural gas seems to be the biggest item they're readying for export but here's the summary:
Economy (2002 est.) GDP: About $18.7 billion. Real growth rate: 3.2%. Per capita GDP: $965.40. Natural resources: Crude oil and natural gas, phosphates, asphalt, rock salt, marble, gypsum. Agriculture: Products--cotton, wheat, barley, sugar beets, fruits and vegetables. Arable land--30%. Industry: Types--mining, manufacturing (textiles, food processing), construction, petroleum. Trade: Exports--$6.1 billion: petroleum, textiles, phosphates, antiquities, fruits and vegetables, cotton. Major markets--EU, Arab countries, U.S., New Independent States, Eastern Europe. Imports--4.6 billion: foodstuffs, metal and metal products, machinery, textiles, petroleum. Major suppliers--Germany, Turkey, Italy, France, U.S., Japan.
Actually, that's not so much and we can do without!
