It is the biggest quantity ever produced in a first quarter. In 2019, a total of 650,000 tons were produced in the first three months. Production thus increased by 14%. From January to March 2018, the DEPV reported a quantity of 585,000 m³.

So far, the biggest quantity of pellets produced in one quarter was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019 with 752,000 tons.
