What the source says
The 2025 market size remains roughly 60 Mt (15%) lower than the levels seen in 2017–2018, indicating that a full return to pre-crisis volumes is still a long-term endeavour.
Checked: the figure 60 million tonnesis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
