The line graph illustrates information about the production of three forest industry products in a European country, including timber, pulp, and paper, over a twenty-year period between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, it can be clearly seen that there was a noticeable increase in all three products. The productions of paper and pulp experienced a significant rise, while the figure for timber saw a fluctuation over the period.
Initially, the production of paper stood at about 4 million tonnes, after which it registered a considerable growth to around 9 million until 1995. After a sudden drop, it continued to increase and reached exactly 12 million tonnes in 2000. The trend for pulp started off at about 6 million tonnes, and then, it witnessed a slight decrease before increasing gradually to precisely 8 million by 1990. It then remained stable until 1998 and went up slightly to almost 10 million in the final year.
By contrast, the figure for timber began at about 5 million tonnes in the first year. It increased gradually and hit a peak of around 10 million in 1985. The trend oscillated over the next fifteen years, at which point it ended at just under 8 million in 2000.
