The bar chart illustrates data on the production of oranges, apples, pears, and peaches, in million kilograms, in an Australian state in three different years.
Looking at the chart, it is apparent that apples were the most cultivated fruit, while peaches were the least popular. Additionally, whereas oranges, apples, and peaches experienced upward trends, pears were the only fruit that saw a decline.
In 1995, pears led the chart in production at almost 140 million kilograms; this figure, however, fell considerably by 20 million kilograms in the next decade. By 2015, the production of pears had fallen to exactly 80 million kilograms, reaching a record low. By contrast, peaches, despite constantly ranking last in production, experienced a positive trend. Initially, peach production was just under 40 million kilograms; this number gradually rose by 30 million kilograms over the next two decades.
Regarding orange and apple production, both witness similar positive trajectories. At the beginning of the period, the figures for oranges and apples were 76 million kilograms and 80 million kilograms, respectively. Throughout the next 20 years, both fruits saw marked rises in numbers. While orange production steadily rose to its peak at 90 million kilograms, apple production underwent a sharp increase in 2005, before reaching its climax at approximately 119 million kilograms.
