You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph below shows the change in production (Million Tonnes) of three products in the forest industry in a European country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The line graph illustrates the number of three distinct forest-industry products (

paper

and packaging, sawn

wood

, and

wood

pulp) in the UK between 1980 and 2000. Production units are measured in

million

tonnes

.

Overall

,

paper

and packaging,

wood

pulp and sawn

wood

experienced different trends during the period, with an upward, steady and downturn pattern, respectively. Notably,

paper

and packaging consistently produced the most products, outperforming all the categories.

Paper

and packaging commenced at approximately 250

million

tonnes

, experiencing a slight rise in 1990 before skyrocketing to reach a peak of 300

million

tonnes

.

Wood

pulp started production at 200

million

tonnes

and hovered around at that level between 150 and just under 175

million

tons.

In contrast

, sawn

wood

depicted a gradual fall from just above 150 to hit a low of about 125

million

tonnes

in the final period, marking the lowest point among the categories and the periods.
