The first chart reveals that the decade saw a sharp increase in the production. In 1990 the European country output approximately 0.8 millions of tonnes. Till 2000 the figure peaked at about 2.4 million, a three time jump.
According to the second chart, the wheat prices dramatically surged from less than 1500 Pound Sterling per tonne in 1990 to almost 3000 in 1995. Nevertheless, in the following five years, the changes in prices were featured by decrease. By 2000, the prices had dropped to 2,200 pound sterling.

Noticeably, the number of employees in Leeds was 350, compared with 150 in London.
