The line graph provides data about copper production in Australia, Mexico, Russia, and the United States from 2000 to 2020.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that the United States was the largest producer of copper among the aforementioned regions in all the given years excluding 2010 in which Russia was the leading producer of copper. However, the production of copper had increased over the years in all the regions except Russia.
The United States produced 800 thousand tons of copper in 2000, but the production figures plummeted to around 700 thousand tons in 2005. Nevertheless, the United states was able to recover quickly and grow its copper production steadily by producing 900 thousand tons in 2010, about 950 thousand tons in 2015, and 1200 thousand tons in 2020. Russian copper production numbers rose from 300 thousand tons in 2000 to 800 thousand tons in 2010, but these numbers fell quite sharply from that point, falling to 400 thousand tons in 2020.
The production of copper in Australia and Mexico was on an upward trajectory throughout the years recorded in the graph. Australia’s copper production climbed up from 300 thousand tons in 2000 to 900 thousand tons in 2020, and Mexico’s production grew from 600 thousand tons in 2000 to 800 thousand tons in 2020.
