Why This Bounces Around So Much
Multiple direction changes over the period mean any two-point comparison — say, first year to last — is likely to be misleading on its own. The middle years matter just as much.
Like most indicator series of this kind, the Western Africa (excluding intra-trade) numbers here are compiled from periodic surveys and filled in with modeling for the years between — read the shape of the trend, hold individual annual figures loosely.
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.
