El sencillo término se encuentra en el siguiente contexto que me está resultando farragoso, a lo mejor soy yo.
"Con respecto a 2007 venderíamos un -38%. Es decir, pasaríamos de vender un total de xxx litros (xxx barriles) a vender xxx litros (xxxx barriles)."
Esta es mi última apuesta:
"With respect to 2007 we would be selling -38%. That is to say, we would have gone from selling a total of xxxx liters (xxxx kegs) to selling xxxx liters (xxx kegs)."
"Con respecto a 2007 venderíamos un -38%. Es decir, pasaríamos de vender un total de xxx litros (xxx barriles) a vender xxx litros (xxxx barriles)."
Esta es mi última apuesta:
"With respect to 2007 we would be selling -38%. That is to say, we would have gone from selling a total of xxxx liters (xxxx kegs) to selling xxxx liters (xxx kegs)."

we would go from selling a total of ... to selling ...
I like your answer, but would modify it slightly:
"Compared to 2007, we would sell 38% less. That is to say we would go from selling ... to selling..." --sounds most natural to my ears.
I don't know what's being sold. If it's beer, it's kegs. If it's petroleum, it's barrels.
The example sentence attached is from this reference:

The selected answer is correct
I would like to point out that Barriles do not translate to Kegs, it translates to barrels. Kegs is a term used for a small barrel that is pressurized and used mainly for beer transportation.
