What Broke Global Trade In 2020
This chart doesn't support a simple narrative. It moves up, it moves down — pick any two years and you can tell almost any story you want. Look at the whole series, not a slice of it.
This decline fits a global pattern: COVID-19 disrupted supply chains and demand simultaneously in 2020, and trade flows fell broadly across most economies in the same year.
This rebound fits a global pattern: as economies reopened in 2021, trade flows recovered broadly, driven by pent-up demand and easing restrictions worldwide.
Use the direction of this line more than any single year's value — butter and Ghee Export quantity figures like this one are most reliable as a trend indicator, less reliable as a precise year-by-year scorecard.
Check the source link for methodology before quoting a specific year from this chart — Western Africa (excluding intra-trade)'s underlying statistics agency, like most, revises and re-estimates historical figures as better data comes in.
