The line graph provides a breakdown of the changes in the per capita meat consumption across four categories in four different countries (USA, UK, India, Brazil) spanning 34-year period starting from 1985, at 5-year intervals.
Overall, it is manifest that the meat consumption rate in all surveyed categories followed an upward trajectory. Notably, USA maintained its status as the leader, India was the least significant sector throughout the period.
Regarding the most prominent categories, 1985 witnessed USA leading the chart at appropriate 85 units. This figure climbed steadily to 120 units in 2000, before peaking at about 138 units by the conclusion of the period. Simultaneously, Brazil also saw a marked rise, effectively maintaining a significant margin just the leader throughout the timeframe.
In stark contrast, the figures for UK and India remained at the lower end of the spectrum throughout the period. Although UK witnessed a marginal rise from 87 units to 110 units, it still represented a mere fraction of the volume seen in the leading categories. Simultaneously, India followed a comparable trajectory, with its figures doubling to reach 40 units by the conclusion of the timeframe, highlighting a slow but steady growth in these minor sectors.
