The Trade Recovery, Explained
This is a series to read year by year, not to summarize with a single trend line. Doing the latter would flatten out real, meaningful movement.

Before drawing a conclusion from this chart alone, check how South Africa compares to similar countries on flour of maize Import quantity — the shape of this one line can look dramatic or unremarkable depending entirely on what it's measured against.
Source here is a national/international statistics body, not a live measurement — most time series like this are interpolated or modeled between actual survey years. Treat the trend as the real signal, individual years as approximate.
This is a small trade volume in absolute terms — at this scale, a single shipment, buyer, or contract can move the national total by a large percentage. Don't read year-to-year swings here as an economy-wide signal.
