Despite a significant variation in import volumes, several countries like Iraq (4.26%), Argentina (4.65%), and Ethiopia (4.48%) demonstrated notable year-over-year growth rates. Conversely, countries such as Ukraine (-6.57%), Bangladesh (-3.62%), and Angola (-5.09%) experienced declines in their import volumes.
