The provided line graph illustrates the changes by cents per pound in retail
monthly chicken price in the UK from 2011 to 2017. Overall, the whole period
experienced a downward trend in total revenue of chicken with the minimum
decrease in chicken price at the end of 2016.

As is presented in the graph, between 2011 and 2015, cost of broiler chicken
witnessed a sharp fluctuation with the maximum price at approximately 193 cents
and the minimum price at roughly 188 cents. In addition, the price level remained
unchanged in the last three months and continued to stay constant at the beginning
of the following year. The broiler price in 2016 followed the same tendency at a
lower level from February to September except for the first two months. Moreover,
the minimum price recorded in this year was 184 cents in December and the period
of stability in 2016 was shorter than the previous stage. Furthermore, cost of
chicken broiler showed a significant recovery over the first quarter of 2017 but
then began to vary constantly from April to nearly 187 cents in September.

The provided line graph presents the changes in the Americans’ taste for
different kinds of food by kilograms of food per person from 1910 to 2010
included meat, poultry, fish, grain and cereal, dairy products, vegetables and fruits.
Overall, the US consumers tended to purchase less milk-equivalent products and
switch to several types of meat and high-fibre foods instead but dairy products still
retained its popularity.

As can be seen from the graph, despite minor fluctuations, there was only a
subtle change in the quantity of milk-equivalent foods demanded in the consumer
market in the first 30 years. In particular, this type of food experienced a modest
decrease by at least 10 kilograms and a small rise by at least 20 kilograms every
year. However, its quantity demanded suddenly declined gradually between 1940
and 1975. Although a steady recovery by 210 kilograms was witnessed from 1975
but the preference for dairy products could not reach the highest recorded demand
at approximately 400 kilograms in 1940.

As is presented in the statistics, within the first 60 years, vegetables, fruits


and grain and cereal were not in driving need of the consumers. In specific, the
quantity sold out of these products started to grow slowly from 1970 but later
began to drop in 2000. With respect to meat, before 2000, its demand climbed
slightly by at least 10 kilograms each year but then immediately fell modestly by
the end of the period.

The given line graph depicts the changes in the total output by tonnes of four
types of coffee bean from 1961 to 2011 in Brazil, included Robusta, Cahuoi,
Bourbon and Catura. Overall, the total production of these types of coffee bean
experienced an upward trend during the period provided and Robusta was the best
seller coffee bean.

As is presented in the graph, the gross production of coffee bean fluctuated


within 2 years. In specific, while the maximum decrease by 1,200,000 tonnes was
witnessed in between 1975 and 1976, the maximum increase by 1,200,000 tonnes
was seen between 1965 and 1966. In addition, the total output declined at least by
100,000 tonnes between 1997 and 1998, whereas the minimum recorded increase
was nearly 100,000 tonnes at the beginning of the period.

Now, turning to the details of the graph. With respect to Bourbon, there was
a modest growth in its total output. Not following the same tendency, differences
between Cahuoi and Catura was highlighted. In particular, from the beginning to
1989, Catura’s output remained unchanged by zero, but later went up gradually by
at least 100,000 tonnes every year. In contrast, irrespective of minor variations,
generally the amount of Cahuoi rose slowly until 1992 and then suddenly dropped
at the end of the period. With regards to Robusta, its gross production varied
continuously every year by at least 100,000 tonnes.

The provided line graph enumerates the changes in consumers’ preferences


for dairy products by pounds per person from 1970 to 2010 which included cheese,
full-fat ice cream, low-fat ice cream. Overall, while cheese and yogurt witnessed
an upward trend in demand, full-fat ice cream and low-fat ice cream experienced a
downward tendency in customers’ purchasing power.

As can be seen from the graph, despite minor fluctuations, there was a
gradual increase in the total revenues of both cheese and yogurt. In specific, the
beginning of the period showed a slight rise to nearly 17 pounds in the amount of
in 1988, which was followed by a small fall to 16 pounds in 1989 and a sudden
leap from the same year to roughly 23 pounds in 2010. Similarly, with regards to
yogurt, after going up slowly in the first 18 years, the sale of yogurt started to
decline gently by 1 pound and saw a significant recovery in the following years.

As is presented in the data, in general, both low-fat and full-fat ice cream
witnessed a downfall in sales figures. In particular, the period between 1970 and
1988 experienced a slow climb to approximately 11 pounds of full-fat ice cream,
which was followed by a steady drop in the quantity demanded. Besides, during
the first 19 years, low-fat ice cream showed a short jump to almost 5 pounds in
1989, and then saw a minor reduction through the end of this period.
