<Li> <P> Montevideo . </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Asuncion . </P> </Li> <P> Intra-Mercosur merchandise trade (excluding Venezuela) grew from US $10 billion at the inception of the trade bloc in 1991, to US $88 billion in 2010; Brazil and Argentina each accounted for 43% of this total . The trade balance within the bloc has historically been tilted toward Brazil, which recorded an intra-Mercosur balance of over US $5 billion in 2010 . Trade within Mercosur amounted to only 16% of the four countries' total merchandise trade in 2010, however; trade with the European Union (20%), China (14%), and the United States (11%) was of comparable importance . Exports from the bloc are highly diversified, and include a variety of agricultural, industrial, and energy goods . Merchandise trade with the rest of the world in 2010 resulted in a surplus for Mercosur of nearly US $7 billion; trade in services, however, was in deficit by over US $28 billion . The EU and China maintained a nearly balanced merchandise trade with Mercosur in 2010, while the United States reaped a surplus of over US $14 billion; Mercosur, in turn, earned significant surpluses (over US $4 billion each in 2010) in its trade with Chile and Venezuela .
