The line chart illustrates total banana imports in U. S. dollars per kg from 1996 to 2004. Obviously, the U. S. imported the least, even though it showed a slight rising trend, while Japan during the period of recession imported the most. France stayed stable and by the end of the year equaled the U. S. in terms of imports, while Germany grew slightly. Looking in more detail, at the beginning of the period the U. S. imported $1 per kg of bananas, and this figure changed slightly and stopped at $1. 2. Japan's imports, by contrast, began at $2, then rose sharply to $3 per kg by 1998, then ranged from $2 to $2. 5, then there was a dramatic drop and then there was a recovery that ended at $2. In the same way, France started and ended at US$2 per kg, but remained below US$2 for most of the period. Germany's imports were $1. 5 in 1996, followed by a sharp rise to more than $2. 5 in 1998, a drop to a low of $1. 3 the next year, then a steady rise to $2 and a final decline that ended the period at $1. 7.
