Starting at 563 million USD in 2015, it decreased to 542 million USD in 2016, then slightly increased to 560 million USD in 2017 before declining again to 510 million USD in 2018. The figure stabilized in 2019 at 511 million USD. Overall, there is a downward trend from 2015 to 2019, indicating a reduction in spending or inventory levels related to packaging and ingredients.
Work in process
The work in process inventory demonstrates notable variability. It started at 393 million USD in 2015 and remained relatively stable in 2016 at 388 million USD. There was a marked increase to 439 million USD in 2017, followed by a sharp decline to 343 million USD in 2018. In 2019, the value rose again to 364 million USD. This pattern suggests fluctuations in production stages, with increased buildup in 2017 and subsequent adjustments in following years.

The value rose from 1,662 million USD in 2015 to 1,754 million USD in 2016, continuing to climb to 1,816 million USD in 2017. It remained relatively stable between 2017 and 2018 at around 1,814 million USD and further increased to 1,846 million USD in 2019. This steady increase indicates growing inventory levels of finished goods, which may imply higher production output or stockpiling strategies.

This figure continued to rise to 2,815 million USD in 2017 but then experienced a slight drop to 2,667 million USD in 2018. In 2019, inventories recovered slightly to 2,721 million USD. This shows a general growth in inventory holdings with minor fluctuations, suggesting adjustments in inventory management or production cycles.
