@argvs Chicken increases. Beef decreases. Lamb decreases. Fish stays the same.
You could also say that "This graph shows the increase of chicken".
They say "changes" as a plural because they each change differently. The singular change in chicken is an increase. The singular change in beef is a decrease. And so on.

"The increase" is used here as a noun. "Increases" is a verb.

@jihyo0414 thank you very much!! Should there be the singular form, or a plural form?(increases)
- Inglés (US)
@argvs It should probably be singular (increase) if it is one constant increasing line. Usually there are not multiple increases, unless there are multiple graphs.

@argvs So if the whole graph represents increasing lines with the three countries combined together, it is still one singular "increase".
