The given bar chart provides data on the amount of consumed rice and other types of food crops in percentages over a 50-year period, with projections until 2040, while the provided line graph compares the production and consumption of rice in tons over the given time frame. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that rice production had an obvious lead among other food crops throughout the period and it is projected to experience a dramatic decrease. Moreover, production and consumption of rice experienced a rise over the given time, and the figures are expected to experience a consistent rise over the rest of the period.
In terms of the given bar chart, at the start of the period, rice consumption was at around 45%, and the figure for rice consumption witnessed a steady rise, reaching a point of nearly 75%, overtaking other food crops. In the subsequent years, the figure followed the same pattern, hitting a peak of roughly 90%, and it is forecast to stay at a point of 50% at the end of the given period. Meanwhile, other food crops were consumed at about 55% initially and experienced a constant decrease, hitting a low of approximately 10%. It is projected that they will finish the given period at around 50%, matching their initial value and balancing with rice consumption.
Regarding the line graph, it is obvious that production and consumption of rice consistently increased. While consumption of rice started the period at about 35 million tons, rice production was merely at 25% at the beginning. In 2015, the figure for rice production stood at the point of 40%, surpassing rice consumption. The figures are predicted to increase to about 60% and 75% by 2040, respectively.
