How To Read This Chart
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.
Worth noting this move happens in 2020, the year lockdowns disrupted ordinary activity broadly across the world. It may or may not be the direct explanation here, but it's the most common one for a dip landing in exactly this year.
Data like this is rarely a fresh annual count. It is more often a periodic survey with the in-between years estimated — worth knowing before treating every single year as an independent, precise measurement.
A rural-specific chart like this one is most useful side by side with its urban counterpart — the divergence between them is often the real finding.
