The table illustrates the average consumption of three staple foods in a particular European country over a 30-year period, from 1990 to 2020. It shows that among the three foods, wheat became the most commonly consumed commodity during this time, recording the highest average consumption.
In the 1990s, this country had a high level of food consumption, with wheat topping the list. In contrast, rice was consumed in much smaller quantities compared to the others. However, by 2005, the overall consumption of potatoes and wheat had declined. Potatoes decreased from 95 kg in 1990 to 80 kg in 2005, while wheat fell from 120 kg in 1990 to 115 kg in 2005. In contrast, rice consumption showed a continuous increase during this period.
This trend continued into 2020, as both potato and wheat consumption experienced further declines. In contrast, rice recorded a significant increase in consumption. In conclusion, between 1990 and 2020, there was a noticeable decline in the consumption of both wheat and potatoes, whereas rice consumption displayed a positive upward trend in this specific country.
