The line chart illustrates the prices of 800 grams of wholegrain, brown, white, and rye bread in a particular European country from 2001 to 2005.
Overall, brown, white and rye showed a general upward trend throughout the period. Meanwhile, the price of wholegrain fluctuated but ended at its initial level. Wholegrain had the highest price at first, surpassed by brown afterwards. Additionally, rye consistently recorded the lowest prices during this timeframe.
As can be seen from the chart, whole grain was the leading category, at around 0.8, slightly higher than brown at roughly 0.6 in 2001. Both types of bread experienced a similar rise in the next year with wholegrain peaking at 1.8, the highest figure on the chart, and brown reaching around 1.5. However, both figures changed noticeably for the rest of the period shown. Wholegrain decreased sharply to approximately 0.7 by 2004, overtaken by brown from 2003 onwards. Conversely, brown rose slightly and then became the most expensive at 1.6 by the end of the period.
Turning to the other two categories, both white and rye started at 0.6, making them the lowest figures in 2001. The price of white then climbed to around 1, while a reverse pattern could be seen in rye by 2002. Nevertheless, white and rye rose gradually to settle at just over 1.2 and 0.7 respectively in 2005
