The bar chart provides information regarding how much rice was produced on a yearly basis in four countries in three different years, 1995, 2005 and 2015.
From an overarching viewpoint, it is discernible that A was the largest rice-producing country in all three years, while the opposite was true for the case of country D. In addition, the amount of rice generated in countries A, B and D experienced an increase, albeit at different levels, whereas the figures for country C remained essentially unchanged throughout the given timeframe.
Country A led in annual rice production. Commencing at 45 million tonnes, the amount of rice produced in this country witnessed a gradual growth to 50 million tonnes in 2015. A similar upward trend could be observed in the figures for country B, but to a greater extent, with its starting level being at just over 25 million tonnes, reaching its peak at around 43 million tonnes in 2010. Despite a considerable decrease to about 36 million tonnes, the quantity of rice in this country was the second-highest/ largest among the countries.
Regarding the countries with the lowest annual rice output, the amount of rice generated yearly in country C began at just 5 million tonnes, which was significantly lower than the figures for countries A and country B. Although there was a slight increase to approximately 7 million tonnes in 2010, the quantity of rice output culminated at its beginning level in the last year. Country D produced only around 2 million tonnes in 2005 and 2010, which was half of the rice output in 2015.
