This reflected an increase by 18.04%, due to increasing demand for beverages with the advent of the summer season.
The manufacture of chemicals and chemical products increase by 20.03% to reach 116.85 during March 2021, compared to February 2021, when it reached 97.35. The increase was to meet the market needs due to the repercussions of the corona pandemic.
