These are NOT exports!

Cultural exports include:

1. Sports (e.g., The English Premier League)

2. Food (e.g., Chinese & Indian Cuisine, Coca-cola, McDonald's)

3. Music (e.g., Michael Jackson)

4. Film (e.g., Hollywood, Nollywood etc)

5. etc

Now re-visit your question, and you will find that the answer is yes. Though not in a big way.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
