Between 2024 and 2028, forecasted imports show a consistent decline from 1.5069 million kilograms to 0.60476 million kilograms. This represents significant year-on-year percentage declines, indicative of falling demand or shifts in market dynamics. Key contributory factors might include changing domestic consumption patterns, price fluctuations, or emerging alternatives in the market.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in agricultural policies affecting production areas.
- Substitution by alternatives or synthetic products.
- Impact of global economic factors on trade dynamics.
