Band 6+: The line graph shows the change in production (million tonnes) of three products in the forest industry in a European country. Summarise the information by describing the main features of the graph and making comparisons where appropriate.

The line chart compares the million tonnes differ in manufacturing of the three forest industry products – timber, pulp, and paper – in an European nation from 1980 to 2000.

Overall, the production amounts of the three items all witnessed an increased trend. Additionally, the figure for paper showed the most significant growth.

Timber and pulp tonnes created both went up moderately throughout this period. Production of timber constituted the highest amount of production at the beginning of the period at 6 million tonnes, before peaking at approximately 9 million tonnes in the following five years. Subsequently, it experienced a fluctuation and recorded 7.5 million tonnes by 2000. Similarly, pulp tonnes manufactured slightly increased from 4 million tonnes, prior to dip minimally to roundly 4 million tonnes again in 1990, and finished at 6 million tonnes.

There was a highest growth rate in the million tonnes of paper made. Production of paper accounted for only about 3 million tonnes initially; however, it recorded a remarkable surge over the years and reached 10 million tonnes by 2000, overtaking timber and pulp to become the most popular product.
