The line chart compares the amount of sugar manufactured and used in India throughout the 2001-2011 period.
Overall, both sugar production and consumption in India increased slightly in the given period. However, the former was more consistent than the latter.
Looking at the first 5 years of the period, the production of sugar in India had a higher starting point than the usage, with approximately 17 million tonnes and 15 million tonnes respectively. While India increasingly produced nearly 20 million tonnes of sugar in 2002 and started to decrease making sugar after that, reaching the bottom with around 13 million tonnes of sugar, the amount of sugar consumed was slightly grew to 20 million tonnes in 2003 and remain relatively stable to 2005.
Regarding the remaining years of the period, after bottoming out in 2005, the production of sugar in India climbed again to the trough in 2007, around 27 million tonnes of sugar was made that year but suddenly fell to nearly 16 million tonnes in 2009 and then increased to about 26 million tonnes in 2011. The consumption of sugar in India still stayed unchanged from 2005 to 2007 at 20 million tonnes and increased by a mere around 3 million tonnes in 2011.
