Southland’s main exports in 2000, 2015 and future projection of 2025

Rendered on a bar graph is information regarding the total value of Southland’s three primary

exports

in 2000 2016 and future predictions for the year 2025. A pattern plainly in evidence is that international

tourism

will become noticeably more dominant than the other two types of the

export

industry. International

tourism

and dairy products have experienced an upward trend among the three

export

sectors, albeit by varying degrees. In 2000,

tourism

contributed the most outstanding amount of money to Southland’s

exports

, standing at over £8

billion

.

Then

, the value has increased steadily, reaching approximately £9

billion

at the end of 2016. It is forecasted that international

tourism

will consistently escalate to around £10

billion

by 2025. The

export

data of dairy goods have played out differently. The revenue is predicted to fall slightly to £9. 5

billion

in the

next

ten years after a dramatic rise of £3

billion

between 2000 and 2016. A contrasting pattern took shape in

meat

exports

because the sales of exporting

meat

have witnessed a gradual downturn in the given period. Specifically,

meat

products’ revenues stood at £6

billion

in the millennium, followed by a steady decline to £5. 5

billion

over 16 years.

Also

, it is expected that sales will continue to go down in the following years, which accounts for the minor earnings in Southland’s key

exports

. Overall, it is abundantly clear that international

tourism

and dairy

exports

will constantly maintain significant positions in the

export

industry, while

meat

counterparts will demonstrate a downward trend.
