The line graph illustrates the variation in production of timber, pulp, and paper products in a European country. The graph shows various trends in the change in manufacturing of products in the forest industry, measured in millions of tonnes.
Timber and pulp both show the same pattern of rise and fall over the period of 20 years. In the year 1980, timber production was 6 million tonnes, and pulp had 4 million tonnes. Both of these products have shown a steady rise in production, reaching 9 million and 5 million tonnes, respectively.
Then, the timber production had a slight decrease until 1995, making a production of 6.5 million tonnes, and increased to 7.5 million tonnes by 2000. Whereas, pulp production had quietly declined after 1995 until 1990 and then peaked at 6 million tonnes by 2000.
The paper production has shown a significant step-up from 1980 to 1995, with a value increasing from 3 million tonnes to 9 million tonnes of production, and thereafter a gradual increase from 1995 to 2000, which peaked the production at 10 million tonnes.
