The line graph represents the production of sugar and its consumption in India, between 2001 and 2011.
Overall, there was a considerable amount of fluctuations, and both trends have seen an upward trend over the given timespan.
To begin with, in 2001, sugar production was slightly more than it was consumed by that year, at 23 and 27 tons respectively. By 2003, the demand for sugar rose, while the reverse was true for manufacturing, consequently, both reaching 25 tons. In the next period, there was a sharp decline in production, dropping below 19 tons. Consumption also decreased by 2005, but compared to the production, the decline was marginal, falling to 24 tons. That being said, between 2005 and 2007, sugar output increased dramatically and its usage also saw an increase, both reaching 25 tons by that period.
By the end of 2005, sugar yield rose considerably, reaching its peak at almost 35 tons in 2007. Similarly, consumption also faced a growth, but the intake’s increase was not as substantial as it was produced, growing up to 26 tons. Usage’s trend continued to rise at a constant rate, and it reached 27 tons by the end of the given period. Meanwhile, sugar processing maintained sharp fluctuations, slumping considerably to 21 tons in 2007, for instance. However, it recovered its position, surpassing the demand and reaching slightly above 30 tons at the end.
