The line chart illustrates the number of berries bought by consumers between 1981 and 2007, a period of 26 years. Overall, the consumption of three types of berries declined over the period.
In 1981, the most popular berry to consumers was strawberry, being eaten approximately 141 times a year. This was higher than blue berry and cranberry, which were consumed 90 times and 10 times respectively every year. Although the consumption of strawberry reached a peak nearly at 160 times in 1986, it resisted over the 26-year timescale to finish at just under 50 times per year.
In addition, the sale of blue berry had a slight increase to 100 times in 1991 and remained the same until 1996 then decreased quickly because of the appearance of cranberry in 1996. Cranberry increased suddenly to approximately 85 times in 2001, then it went down 70 times in 2007.
