We are given the monthly production quantity for a certain agricultural product in 10 different provinces of a country between January 2015 to December 2020. This product comes from a fruit. It takes a few months for the fruits to grow on the trees which bear them. It also takes a few days to extract the syrup from the fruits after they have been harvested.
