Making Sense Of The Swings
Don't anchor on the most recent year. With this much back-and-forth, the latest reading is one data point among several similarly-weighted ones, not the start of a new trend.
The single most useful thing to do with this chart is compare South Africa against its neighbors or peers on the same butter and Ghee Import quantity series, not read the line in isolation — a number only means something relative to where everyone else stands.
This data comes from South Africa's statistical reporting, sourced from the link below. As with most cross-country indicator datasets, expect the underlying survey to run less often than annually, with gaps modeled in between.
