Imports showed sharp variations, surging to 777 tons in 2019, falling to zero in 2022, and recovering to 972 tons in 2023, which directly influenced the total market volume each year.

With no exports recorded throughout the period, the market's size was entirely dependent on local output and imports. The market's recovery in 2023 to over 6 000 tons was propelled by the resurgence of import volumes.
