The bar chart illustrates coffee production, measured in million tonnes, in four nations (Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia, and Vietnam) over a 20-year period from 1990 to 2010. Overall, Brazil’s coffee production increased rapidly over the years. Similarly, Vietnam’s and Indonesia’s coffee yield rose, however, at a much smaller scale, while Columbia’s decreased.
As it can be seen from the graph, Brazil produced around 0.7 million tonnes of coffee in 1990 and its production kept going up until it reached 1.9 million tonnes in 2010, which is almost triple the amount it originally started with. Similarly, Vietnam’s coffee production tripled over the years from 0.1 million tonnes in 1990 to 0.3 million tonnes in 2010, which is 1.6 million tonnes less than that of Brazil.
Moreover, Indonesia’s yield remained the same over the five-year period from 1990 to 1995, however, it increased after that until it reached 0.4 tonnes in 2010, which is double the amount it produced prior. In contrast, Columbia had been an exception, since its production went down from 0.6 million tonnes to almost 0.3 in 2010.
