The year-on-year growth rate has varied significantly, with notable increases in 2015 and 2018 at 6.07% and 6.49% respectively, countered by declines in years like 2019 and 2020. Although the CAGR from 2019 to 2023 is 0.56%, indicating moderate growth, the overall trend over the last decade shows a pattern of fluctuations in production.
