The provided bar chart illustrates how many million kilos of four types of fruit – Oranges, Apples, Pears and Peaches – were grown in a particular state in Australia in three distinct years, 1995,2005 and 2015.
Overall, the production rate of all fruit types experienced an upward trend with an exception of pears.
Notably, the least grown fruit was always peaches and the biggest change was observed in Apples and Pears.
In detail, Oranges, Apples and Peaches saw similar shifts, albeit to varying degrees. In 1995, twice as many Apples were produced as Peaches, 80 and 40 million kilograms. The former grew to 110 million in 2005 prior to reaching its peak of 120 million kilograms in the final year. There was a rise of 20,000 and about 10,000 tons in the manufacturing of Peaches in 2005 and 2015, respectively. Similarly, Orange production rose by 10 million kgs in each year studied, starting with 70 and ending with 90 million kilograms.
In comparison, Pears, which were the most commonly produced fruit initially, witnessed a significant drop over time. In 1995, approximately 130 million kilos of pears were grown – the highest point in the chart. Having plummeted to 100 million kilos a decade later, the figure again dropped to 90 million in the last year.
