## Methodology

Price = reported trade value in USD / reported quantity in metric tons. The median is calculated across reported market unit values for the same product and year. Price spread = (highest market price - lowest market price) / median market price x 100. Vs median = (market unit value - market median) / market median x 100. Price position is not a profitability claim.

Coverage: 2017-2023; 45 importer markets; 88 reported market-year observations.
