The bar chart illustrates data on the production of four different types of fruits—oranges, apples, pears, and peaches—in a particular Australian state in three separate years, 1995, 2005, and 2015. All units are measured in million kilograms.
Overall, the production of oranges, apples, and peaches increased throughout the period, albeit to varying degrees. Meanwhile, the production of apples rose notably, leading the chart in 2015. By contrast, despite hitting an all-time high in 1995, the figure for pears decreased consistently.
Considering a downward trend first, the amount of pears produced was the highest, at around 137 million kg in 1995, a figure that then declined to roughly 110 million kg and 80 million kg by 2005 and by 2015, respectively.
In stark contrast, the amount of oranges produced was about 70 million kg in 1995, which was 10 million kg lower than that of apples. Following this, the former went up progressively to roughly 87 million kg in 2015, while the latter rose sharply by 47 million kg by the end of the period. Ultimately, the figure for peaches was the lowest at around 38 million kg in 1995, which then experienced almost a two-fold increase to about 76 million kg in 2015—still showing the lowest shares.
