Band 6+: The table below provides information about milk production in Australia in millions of litres. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given table illustrates an information about changes in milk production from Australia, comparing two periods of time: 2001/2002 and 2010/2011.

Overall, it can be seen that there was a sudden increase of production during autumns in both years. In contrast, the lowest milk production in the first year was in a February, while it was a July in the second.

As regards to the former period of time, in the first two months there was a moderate growth, it stood at 590 and increased to 630 millions of litres. Following this, the milk production stepped up steadily of 200 millions of litres from August to September and rose to 920 by October. At this point, the trend experienced a slow decline of 200 in November, December and January, and then dropped suddenly to 550 from 730 in the third month of winter. In a whole spring and June, milk production recovered minimally of 40 millions of litres, stopping at 610 by the end.

During 2010/2011, the trend also started at 590 and rocketed to 1350 by October, in which the milk production was the highest point. In contrast, the production saw a sudden fall of approximately 600 millions of litres during the winter, and then went down steadily in spring and June to 590, which was similar in litres to the start of the period.
