Task 1: The chart below shows the annual rice production in 4 countries in 1995, 2005, 2015
Given is the bar chart elucidating the yearly rice yield in four different nations in a period of two decades from 1995 to 2015.
It can be seen from the data provided that while country A led the group in terms of rice production, the yield was relatively insignificant in the cases of country C and D. Also, throughout the surveyed period, different tendencies were recorded in the annual rice production of the four nations.
In 1995, the leading position was captured by nation A with roughly 45 million tonnes in rice production, followed by that of country B with about 10 million tonnes less. Meanwhile, 5 million tonnes and 2 million tonnes were respectively the amount of rice cultivated in country C and D in this same year.
The following decade witnessed a staggering rise in nation B’s rice production as its figure reached a pinnacle at 47 million tones, equalling that of country A at the top spot. The only nation which revealed no change in its rice yield was country D.
In the last year surveyed, there were mixed trends in the yearly rice production from the four nations. Specifically, as the continued growth in production secured country A’s first place at 50 million tonnes, the sudden drop kept nation B at the second place with about 8 million tonnes less. During the same period, country C and D tied at the bottom of the list with a similar 5 million tonnes in annual rice yield, being only a tenth of that of country A.
