How these figures are read
Figures are tonnage in both directions, in thousand tonnes as published and shown here in tonnes. The publisher’s own four-quarter totals and percentage-change columns are not used: every comparison on this page is calculated from the quarters themselves.
The publisher marks this quarter provisional. Provisional quarters are revised, and when they are, the change is logged in our corrections log.
