Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'agricultural' (relating to farming) modifies 'export' (goods sold abroad), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer 'goods produced by farming and sold to other countries.' This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and contains no idiomatic shift, making it immediately transparent to learners.
Etymology
Agricultural export comes from the plain idea of farm goods being sent out of a country: agricultural means from farms and export means to send and sell abroad. Imagine farmers loading wheat or corn onto ships to sell in other lands — that picture explains why it means 'goods produced by farming and sold to other countries'.
