The line graph below shows the land used for organic crops in two countries 
between 1985 and 2010. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the 
main features, and make comparisons where relevant. 
The given line graph compares the areas of land for growing organic crops in two different 
countries from 1985 to 2010. A cursory glance at the graph is enough to make it clear that the 
land allocated to organic farming grew considerably in both countries.
In 1985, both countries, A and B, grew organic crops in 25 thousand hectares each. In the 
next five years, the land for organic farming increased slightly in both countries and reached 
30 and 60 thousand hectares respectively. From 1990 to 1995, there was a sharp escalation 
and over 150,000 hectares was used in both countries for organic agriculture. After 1995, the 
figure for country A continued to grow and reached a peak of 280,000 hectares. The country 
B showed only a moderate increase in the land used for organic farming. After 2000, 
however, both countries showed a minimal decrease in organic farming. From 2005 to 2010, 
the decreasing trend continued in both countries, but the fall was more marked in country A 
and the arable land for organic crops fell to 150,000 hectares each in both countries.
Overall, the area for organic crops increased till 2000, but after that the popularity of organic 
farming decreased.
