The line graph illustrates the amount of rice consumed and produced in X country from 1990 to 2020 as well as the forecast for 2040, while the bar chart compares the consumption of rice and other staple crops in the country over the same period.
Overall, the quantity of rice produced and consumed demonstrates a general upward trend over the span, although this growth is not uniform. According to the bar chart, the share of rice consumed grew steadily from 1990 to 2020, but it is projected to decline in 2040, while the reverse is true about that of other crops.
Based on the line graph, people in the country consumed around 40 m tonnes of rice in the initial year, and this figure remained more or less unchanged up until 2020. However, it is forecast to increase by around 20 m tonnes in 2040. Meanwhile, the country produced 25 m tonnes of rice in 1990, which gradually rose to 40 m tonnes over the 3 decades. By 2040, it is predicted to have reached its peak of 75 m tonnes.
As for the bar chart, the percentage of rice consumed first stood at around a half before growing by a quarter once and a twentieth twice at the turn of the century and in the next two decades, respectively. After 20 years, it is anticipated to go back to its initial standing. The figure for other staple crops made up slightly above a half, whereupon it halved in 2000 and continued dwindling to around 15% until 2020. Similarly, it is expected to bounce back to its 1990 standing in 2040
