The table illustrates how many metric tons of four different grains- wheat, barley, maize, and rice- were produced between 2010 and 2015 and predictions till 2030.
Overall, until 2015, all the grains experienced upward patterns, following varying trends, except the figure for rice which saw the opposite. As for projections from 2020 to 2030, all the figures are expected to increase. Notably, the number of metric tons of wheat was and is going to be much higher than the other figures.
Looking at the trends of the grains until 2015, the number of metric tons of all grains grew over the period shown. Starting at 100 million metric tons, the figure for wheat witnessed a slight rise to 105 million metric tons in 2015. Regarding barley, the figure was 50 million metric tons and experienced a considerable growth of 20 million metric tons in 2015. As regards maize, it rose minimally from 34 to 34.5 over time. In contrast, the trend of rice underwent a minimal decline from 24.7 to 24.3 million metric tons.
Focusing on the conjectures, all the figures will go up. Regarding wheat, it is anticipated to increase insignificantly to 110 million metric tons in 2030, reaching the peak. As for barley, it is expected to rise significantly to 100 million metric tons at the end. However, the quantity of metric tons of maize will see an increase to 35 million metric tons and level off till 2030. Finally, the figure for rice is going to recover gradually to 25.5 million metric tons at the end of the given period.
