Starting at 1.7816 million kilograms in 2024, it steadily decreases to 0.2765 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, the volume shrinks by approximately 21.8% and 27.3% over the last two years, evidencing a significant downtrend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period is notably negative, indicating a consistent drop in import volume.
