The bar chart gives information about the amount of income in Southland’s main exports in 2000 and 2020 and predictions for 2025, focusing on three categories.
Overall, it is clear that international tourism and dairy products were the main sources of income, whereas meat products accounted for the least share over the given period. It is notable that in the future, the amount of income in international tourism is expected to rise, while the reverse is observed in both dairy and meat products.
Looking at the details, in 2000, international tourism indicated the highest rate, with just above 8 billion pounds, which was 1 billion pounds more than dairy products. In both categories, the amount of income started increasing and reached 9 and 10 billion pounds by 2020, respectively. The smallest revenue, 6 billion pounds, belonged to meat products in the first period, before seeing a slight drop to 5.5 billion pounds by 2020.
According to the chart, only international tourism revenue is estimated to notably rise to 10 billion pounds, reaching its peak point in 2025. However, there might be a drop to around 9.5 billion pounds in dairy products, while the income in meat products is expected to remain low, at 5 billion pounds by 2025.
