What made me doubt in E was the phrase "such niche agricultural goods as". Isn't the idiom "such as"? As in "such" should be next to "as" .

"Such x as" is also correct, and by the way, from what I have seen, GMAT question writers sometimes use "such x as" in correct answers partly because they are aware that such constructions will cause test-takers to wonder whether the correct answer is actually incorrect.

Indeed, "such as" can be split.

p.s. Our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana makes a special mention of this property of “that”. Have attached the corresponding section of the book, for your reference.

Hello rrn98,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, both "noun + such as + example" and "such + noun + as + example" are correct, idiomatic constructions for introducing examples of a particular noun.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
Experts' Global Team.
