What the source says
After a slight recovery in 2021, there has been a significant decline in consumption with an all-time low of the reporting period at 220 million tonnes in 2023.
Checked: the figure 220 million tonnes is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
