The line graph illustrates the trends in sugar production and consumption in India over a period of ten years, from 2001 to 2011. The data is measured in million tonnes and shows how both production and consumption levels fluctuated during the given timeframe.
Overall Figure for all categories (sugar production and sugar consumption) are given in million tonnes.Sugar production was fluctuated during the given a period, while sugar consumption showed a gradual increase trend.
In 2001, sugar production stood at just above twenty five million tonnes, which was slightly higher than the consumption which was approximatly 22 million tonnes. After that, the production was decreased significantly and reached the lowest point in 2005, almost 19 million tonne. On the other hand, consumption was stable on and kept on rising slowly.
