Reading This As A Comparison
With 4 series on one chart, the shape that matters is how the ranking shifts over time, not just where each line starts or ends.
Size and growth rate are two different questions here — a series can be small in absolute terms and still be growing the fastest of the group. Check both before drawing a conclusion.
The most practical way to read this is relative: set the Africa Agricultural Biotechnology market figures beside other regions or segments of the same market to see where growth is concentrated.
The numbers here come from a market sizing model: historical revenue estimates up to the 2018 base year, then forecasts through 2022 using growth-rate assumptions for each segment. The underlying report explains the methodology in detail.
