The line graph illustrates the differences in wheat sales across three locations.
Overall, wheat sales fluctuated over the five-year period, particularly in terms of Australian exports. Initially, Canada had the highest sales figures, but by the end of the period, the European Community surpassed them.
In 1985, the figure for Canada was around 29 million tonnes at the beginning of the period. However, the line graph indicates a significant decline, with Canada’s sales dropping to approximately 13 million tonnes by 1986. Despite this decrease, Canada experienced a peak of 25 million tonnes in 1988 before sales began to decline again. At the same time, the European Community held second place in the statistics, although it also saw a decrease in 1986, reaching nearly 13 million tonnes. By comparison, after reaching its peak, Canada returned to its original figure, while the European Community’s sales exceeded Canada’s by nearly 5 million tonnes.
Conversely, Australia reached a peak in 1986 with about 17 million tonnes. Following this substantial increase, its sales steadily declined each year, resulting in the lowest figure in 1990 at approximately 10 million tonnes.
