This is not a clean trend line, so resist the urge to draw one. Samoa's number moves both directions across the period — treat any single year as a snapshot, not a forecast.
Worth remembering this isn't a live feed — it's Samoa's periodically-updated official statistics, with the usual lag and modeling that comes with any indicator series like this.
There's a real gap between 2019 and 2021 in the underlying data — not a zero, not an interpolated value, just missing. Don't read a straight line between those two points as what actually happened in between.
Small absolute numbers like these amplify percentage swings — the same-sized change in volume looks dramatic as a percentage here in a way it wouldn't for a bigger trade flow. Read the raw numbers, not just the percent.
