The bar chart shows the amount of coffee produced in four countries from 1990 to 2010. Overall, most countries increased their coffee production, except for Colombia, where coffee production declined steadily over time. Notably, Brazil was the clear frontrunner in all years studied by a significant margin, while other countries had relatively comparable figures for production.
Brazil stood out as the main producer of coffee. Although this country produced around 0.7 million tons of coffee in 1990, which was slightly higher than the figure for Colombia, coffee cultivation in Brazil surged consistently to top the list with nearly 1.9 million tons. This surge marked the highest amount in the dataset by nearly tripling over the given timeframe.
The increases seen in Indonesia and Vietnam followed a somewhat similar pattern, as both recorded upward trends in 2000 to 0.3 and 0.2 million tons after remaining stable at 0.2 and 0.1 million tons in 1990 and 1995, respectively. By 2010, the production of coffee continued to rise, with Indonesia reaching 0.4 million tons, registering a twofold increase and becoming second after Brazil. Meanwhile, the amount of coffee produced in Vietnam grew to 0.3 million.
Colombia was an outlier in the chart in that it witnessed a drop in its coffee production. Despite beginning the period with the second highest amount of coffee produced, at 0.6 million tons, Colombia exhibited a gradual decrease to about 0.3 million in 2010, reaching parity with the figure for Vietnam.
