Esta estructura de crecimiento se reflejó en el desempeño de las exportaciones chilenas. Mientras los despachos a Estados Unidos y algunos países asiáticos observaron una fuerte expansión, las ventas América Latina y a la Unión Europea cayeron 11 % y 9%, respectivamente. Cabe mencionar que la pérdida de dinamismo registrada por los volúmenes de exportaciones no cobre durante el segundo semestre y la contracción de los despachos de cobre (-2,5%), derivada de los recortes de producción efectuados por las principales compañías mineras, provocó que las exportaciones crecieran, en términos reales, apenas 2,7% durante 2002, la menor expansión desde 1984.

My English Version
------------------

This growth structure was reflected on the performance of Chilean exports. While shipments to the U.S.A. and some Asian countries increased noticeably, sales to other Latin American countries and the European Union fell by 11% and 9%, respectively. It should be noted that stagnant copper export volumes in the second semester, and contracted copper shipments (-2.5%) derived from the production cutbacks effected by the main mining companies caused exports to grow a bare 2.7% in 2002, the lowest rate since 1984.

I would edit your version as follows:

This growth pattern was evident in the performance of Chile's exports. While shipments to the U.S. and some Asian countries did increase notably, sales to Latin America and the European Union fell by 11% and 9%, respectively. It bears mentioning that non-copper exports lost momentum in the second half of the year, and copper shipments fell (-2.5%) due to production cutbacks by the major mining companies. Consequently, exports rose a mere 2.7% in 2002, for the smallest growth rate since 1984.
