The table shows the number of people (millions) that remain undernourished around the world from 2000 to 2009. The chart displays the global price of two food grains over the same period. Summarise the data by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The given table illustrates the proportion of undernourished

people

from all over the world between 2000 and 2009. The line graph demonstrates the cost of two types of grain during the given 9

years

.

Overall

, it is clearly shown that the number of

people

, who did not eat enough, had an upward trend, where the lowest figure was in 2000 and the largest in 2009.

Likewise

, the price of rice and wheat dramatically rose from 200$ per

ton

to more than 800$ and 1000$ respectively. First of all, during the first 6

years

, the number of undernourished

people

merely increased by approximately 6

million

each year(from 857

million

people

in 2000 to 876

million

people

in 2006). For the next 3

years

, the lack of food for

people

grew to around 150

million

and

this

figure reached the highest point of 1024

million

. It is obviously seen that the rice cost increased over a period, beginning with 200$ per

ton

in 2000 and ending up with about 850$ per

ton

in 2009. The price of wheat had some fluctuations in the range from 200$ to 400$ for the first 6

years

,

however

, over the remaining period

this

figure had a significant increase from a little more than 200$ to almost 1200$ per

ton

.
