The line chart illustrates global figures for meat production over four decades from 1950 to 1990.
Overall, it is clear that the production of pork, beef/buffalo and poultry increased by more than three times over the given period and pork remained the most produced meat type in the world.
In 1950 the worldwide production of pork was 20 million tons compared to around 15 million tons of beef/buffalo. In the next decade, both the figures grew steadily, but beef and buffalo production overtook in total number. Both of these trends followed their upward movements till 1980 when pork production worldwide reached a higher figure of 50 million tons than beef and buffalo (40 million tons). Coming to 1990, production of pork reached its peak of 70 million tons, while beef/ buffalo also rose by 10 million tons.
It is also visible that sheep/ goats and poultry production had the same figures in 1950 (5 million tons). Although the former had almost no change throughout 40 years, the latter went up significantly to 20 million tons in 1980 and then doubled over the last decade in question.
