The forecast data for 2024 indicates a projected production of 208.77 thousand metric tons, marking a decrease of approximately 5.6% compared to the previous year. By 2025, production is anticipated to further decline to 196.41 thousand metric tons, representing a 5.9% decrease from 2024. This downward trend continues with an estimated production of 184.31 thousand metric tons in 2026 (a 6.2% drop from 2025), 172.44 thousand metric tons in 2027 (a 6.4% decrease from 2026), and 160.82 thousand metric tons in 2028 (a 6.7% decrease from 2027).
