The bar chart illustrates four different types of fruit – orange, apple, pear and peach – according to their weight, measured in million kg, in one Australian state from 1995 to 2015. Overall, the fruit production for all types of fruit rose across the period, while the reverse as true for pears. It is also clear that the figure for apples stood out among other fruit types with its consistently higher figures in each year, except from 1995, pears surpassed other categories of fruit.
Looking first of all at the amounts of oranges and apples, in 1995 there were around 70 and 80 million kg, a figure that then rise significantly to 80 and 110 million kg, respectively. After a decade these figures increased considerably and reached a high of 90 and 120 million kg, respectively at the end of the period.
The remaining groups of fruits experienced completely different changes. Starting at 130 million kg initially, the amount of pear production declined dramatically to 100 million kg in 2005, closing the period with approximately 90 million kg in 2015. By contrast, the amount of peach production stood at 40 million kg in the first year, this figure that then increased to 60 million kg in 2005, which was followed by a slight rise to around 70 million kg in the final year.
