The bar chart below illustrates the production by weight of four types of fruits in one Australian state during the years 1995, 2005, and 2015. Overall, it is evident that the production of all fruits increased over this period, with the notable exception of pears.
Additionally, it is clear that oranges and apples produced significantly more fruit compared to pears and peaches, with apples consistently leading the group. In 1995, oranges and apples started with nearly similar production levels.
By 2005, both fruits had increased in production; however, apples showed remarkable growth, reaching around 110, while oranges increased to about 80. In 2015, both fruits saw further increases, with oranges reaching approximately 90 and apples climbing to 120.
In contrast, pears and peaches started with a significant difference in production levels, with pears at around 135 and peaches at the lowest number, nearly 40. By 2005, peaches increased to 62, while pear production decreased to 110. In 2015, pears declined further to 80, while peaches saw a slight increase to 64, a minor change compared to 2005
