Look at the graph showing worldwide rice consumption.

The line graph illustrates the expectations for rice consumption in the world from 1990 until 2040.

Overall

, the only

projection

that decreases gradually is the fourth one. Meanwhile, the other three projects seem to grow rapidly starting from 2010 to 2040, with the

first

projection

on top. During the

first

two centuries, it noticed that Project 4 was increasing with more than 300 metric

tonnes

of rice; after that, in 2000, it reached about 360, but in 2010, it reached its highest amount, which is approximately 420 metric

tonnes

. In that year, it seems that three other trends started to grow and have a possible increase. In the interval from 2010 to 2040, the

first

projection

tends to be taking the lead as it reached just under 500 metric

tonnes

in 2020, and it is expected that it will increase again to approximately 520 metric

tonnes

. The highest the

first

project gets will be in 2040 for almost 530 metric

tonnes

.

In addition

, the second and third trends seem to be in competition as they have a similar estimate. We can say that they started to have different expectations of rice amounts between 2030 and 2040. Still,

projection

2 manages to reach exactly 500 metric

tonnes

in 2040,

whereas

the third

projection

is expected to be approximately 470 metric

tonnes

.
