The bar chart illustrates the production (by weight) of four different types of fruit — oranges, apples, pears, and peaches — in a particular Australian state in the years 1995, 2005, and 2015.
Overall, it is clear that pears had the highest production at the beginning of the period, but their output declined steadily over time. In contrast, peach production roughly doubled by 2015. Meanwhile, the production of oranges and apples showed a gradual increase by the end of the period.
In 1995, the production of pears stood at just under 140 tonnes. This figure declined steadily over the next 20 years, dropping to about 100 tonnes in 2005 and reaching approximately 80 tonnes by 2015. In contrast, peaches had the lowest production among the four fruits, starting at just under 40 tonns in 1995. Their output increased gradually, reaching just above 60 tonnes by 2015.
Apple production began at 80 tonnes in 1995 and showed a consistent upward trend throughout the period, peaking at around 120 tonnes by 2015. Similarly, the production of oranges increased gradually, rising from approximately 75 tonnes in 1995 to about 80 tonnes in 2005, and reaching just under 90 tonnes by 2015.
