The bar chart below shows some information about Someland’s main export performances in 2005, 2015, and its future prospect in 2025.
There is a slight decline in meat products between these years from four billion dollars to approximately three billion dollars. On the other hand, there is a considerable increase in international tourism from about six billion dollars in 2005 to around eight billion dollars in 2025 which we can come to a conclusion that international tourism has a bright future based on these statistics. In addition, we can see clearly that there is a significant fluctuation in dairy products in these years. There is a noticeable increase from 2005 to 2015.
