Band 6+: The charts show world pineapple exports by the top three pineapple-producing countries in 2009 and 2019, and a breakdown of the cost to the consumer of each pineapple in 2019. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The bar chart illustrates the international pineapple shipments of the top three nations that produced them in 2009 and 2019, while the pie chart displays the breakdown of its price to customs in 2019.

Overall, what is notable from the first statistic is that country B held the top spot at the beginning of the surveyed period; however, this position belonged to country A in 2019. Whereas, the distribution and retail is the highest proportion, which contributed to the selling price.

Look at the details in the first graph: in 2009, country B took the lead, around 4.5 million metric tons, followed by country A, with about 1.5 million. However, these positions were swapped in the next 10 years. Country A increased sharply to 10,000,000, while country B experienced a moderate decline by 2 million metric tons. In comparison, those in nation C rose slightly, close to 1.5 million.

Moving to the next diagram, the distribution and retail accounted for 35%, which emerged as the leading category. In addition, profit and taxes followed with 18% and 16%, respectively. Besides, the producer made the smallest percentage.
