Measure and scope
Phosphate («الفوسفات»), thousand tonnes («ألف طن»), Syria, calendar year; from the 2012 value «تتضمن الفوسفات العادي والمغسول» (2013 to 2016 editions), 2009 to 2011 restated in the 2014 edition (2010: 3,608), note dropped from the 2017 edition; the 2023 and 2024 editions print 2010 as 3,167, the pre-change value; no method stated
Known conflict
Not reconciled with PHOSPROD-001 (USGS phosphate rock, marketable, 2024: 2,000 revised to 800 thousand tonnes); different year and measure. The abstract's own trade table gives 2,540,626.514 tonnes of HS 2510.20.00 exported in 2023 (not printed; not joined)
