Why does a rising curve get a falling stage label?

The stage label is assigned from the slope and the remaining space, not from the level. A curve can sit near its ceiling while each year adds less than the year before — that reads as a peak even though the line still points up.

Is RCA a trade amount?

No. RCA is a ratio our engine derives from the series. No raw trade amount is published on this page.

No. Every figure is a recorded measurement over the 2015-2023 window with its date attached. It is not investment advice and not a forecast.

Why does a rising curve get a “falling” verdict?

In one line

Albania × edible vegetables: the RCA curve rises every single year from 2.90 to 6.56 (2015→2023) — yet our engine tags this combination Falling from peak, direction Down. The gap between “the line goes up” and “the model says down” is the whole point of this page.

RCA, 2015–2023, nine annual points.

The numbers behind it

Value	What it counts	Source / definition
2.90 → 6.56	RCA, first year to last year	derived series stored per country×industry; the engine's own ratio, not a trade amount
9	annual points (2015–2023)	same series
78	opportunity score (0–100)	curve engine over the 2015–2024 window
Falling from peak	stage label	assigned from the slope and remaining space, not from the level

Why a rising line reads as falling

Level ≠ slope. The engine does not ask “is the number high?” — it asks “is the number still climbing as fast as it was?”
A curve can sit near its ceiling while the annual gain shrinks: each year adds less than the year before. That is a peak, even while the line points up.
The label is computed from the series, then clamped. Nothing here is a forecast.

What this cannot tell you

RCA is a ratio the engine derives — it is not a trade amount, and it is not market size.
One country × industry pair says nothing about the rest of that country's economy.
A stage label describes the recorded window (2015–2023 here). It is not a promise about 2025.
Nine points is a short window: two unusual years can bend the slope.
