The main destination markets were: the U.S., which accounts for 48 percent of the total; Netherlands (11 percent); and Mexico (8 percent).

In the U.S. market, despite a 12 percent drop in volume, value remained unchanged, suggesting stable demand and a willingness to pay higher prices for quality products.
