The line graph depicts how many millions of tons of different types of meat were produced across the world from 1950 to 1990.
Production of all kinds of meats, pork, beef/buffalo and poultry to name a few grew from their original amount by the end of the given time. No form of meat saw any decline in production.
Pork was the most made meat in 1950 at about 20 million tons, while sheep/goats and poultry were the least produced. Though less beef/buffalo meats were processed than pork meat in 1950, the former marginally overtook the latter. Beef/buffalo production maintained this lead position till 1970 when it stood just shy of 40 million tons while pork production was just under 30 million tons after which minimal increase was seen of the meat. 1980 and 1990 witnessed a surge in pork production and reclaimed the lead, as numbers reached around 50 million tons and then over 60 million, respectively. A consistent increase in poultry production can be observed, as chicken processing steadily grew from around 5 million tons in 1950 to just under 20 million tons in 1980. Sheep/goat meat, during the same 30 years, remained unaltered sitting at around 5 million tons. By 1990, poultry production was approximately fourfold higher, at almost 40 million tons, than sheep/goat production at 10 million tons.
