Dutch term or phrase: jaaraantal
"Wanneer als jaaraantal ‘p.m.’ (pro memorie) wordt vermeld, betekent dit ofwel dat de afname zeer beperkt is (tot geen verbruik), ofwel dat de huidige stock de jaarbehoefte(n) dekt."

annual requirement
Explanation:
It could also be something like "annual supply", or "annual needs"?
The quantity referred to in this case would be either null, or so darn many that counting is not required.
Do you have more context?

number per year


Explanation:
Or annual number.
You haven't given much context, but I assume it means the number of whatever it is they sell or use each year.

Notes to answerer
Asker: @writeaway: What could possibly be the point of CONSTANTLY pointing out that you do not think that a person's questions are PRO enough for you. I notice that although 99% of the questions people ask here are beneath you, you never actually answer any of them, merely criticise, and occasionally disagree. It appears then that you have taken it upon yourself to be our Group Conscience. However, the only effect this has is to irritate people and it is counter-productive. Perhaps it might serve a purpose if directed at unregistered members posting "Hello everyone! How do you say 'Hola, me llamo Miguel' in English?", but I am a PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR, and would appreciate it if you refrained from constantly suggesting otherwise. Please read this again: "Almost any question asked by a professional translator should be marked 'PRO'. The non-PRO category is intended for term questions that any bilingual person can answer, such as 'I love you' and the like." (http://www.proz.com/ask/)
