Sales report
Portugal nimmt mit 84% AE-Wachstum eine sehr gute Entwicklung und steigert den Marktanteil auf 19,3%.
I've had this abbreviation in several previous sales reports (industrial equipment) from this client, but they have so far failed to tell me what AE stands for. I strongly suspect that 'growth in AE' won't work in English.
Thanks in advance.

Increase in new orders
Might this work, with AE standing for Auftragseingang?
Therefore AE-Wachstum would be Auftragseingangswachstum?

(new) order growth
AE = Auftragseingang = new orders
Also orders received, incoming orders.

: Also: order/contract bookings. I rather agree with you because you put "new" in parentheses. I'm never sure what people want with "old orders," if you catch my drift.

Thanks to you too. Seems like the camps are divided!

Discussion
The context should make it clear whether the economy of the nation of Portugal is meant (in which case the agriculture sector may be meant) or whether this is a synecdoche for a particular company's activities or branches in Portugal.
English version would be something like growth of the agricultural industry and food (processing) industry.
However I am not sure any more due to the two answers given.
