Bar chart shows how much rice was annually produced in four countries from 1995 to 2015. In general, the production of rice increased in all countries, with the notable exception of country C, where it was unchanged overall. It is also clear that countries A and B produced a lot more than country C and D, with the country A consistently leading the pack
In 1995, country A produced 45 million tonns of rice on a yearly basis, which steadily rose to a chart high of 50 million tonns in the following decades. The figure for country B also increased, although with a decline in the last year. The production commenced lower at around 36 million tonns and, then there was a sharp growth of 12 millions tonns, converging with country A in 2010. However, this parity was not maintained, with the rise in production of country B falling back to approximately 42 million tonns afterward ( means in 2015 ).
In contrast, the rice production in countries C and D was considerably lower. The former produced 5 million tons of rice in 1995 and, after an increase of a few million tonns in 2005, its production reverted to its initial level, making it the only country whose production of rice did not rise. In country D, the annual production of rice was the lowest at 2 million tonns until 2005, after which the amount doubled to reach parity with the country C’output at the end of the period.
