The provided bar chart delineates four distinct types of dairy products and their top three producers worldwide in 2012.
In general, the EU was dominant in producing milk and cheese, whereas butter and milk powder led in popularity across India and China, respectively. Notably, milk was recorded as the most popular dairy product during the given period.
Regarding the milk and cheese sectors, there was a wide disparity between the production of these two, with the EU recording roughly twenty-fold its cheese production. Although the United States ranked third place in milk production, registering 90,038 MT, this nation produced 4,925 MT of cheese on a daily basis, recording second in this type of dairy produce. Additionally, India exhibited a moderate amount of milk produced, at 127,000 MT and Brazil bottomed the list in cheese production with merely 700 MT.
Considering the remaining products, while India demonstrated the highest production of butter in 2012, at 7,500 MT daily, the EU exhibited merely a third of this amount, which stood at 2,040 MT, and followed by a marginal production of 810 MT of the United States. Despite being the lead in milk and cheese production, the EU produced the least milk powder, with 770MT daily, which was 340MT lower than that of New Zealand, and both these nations were exceeded by China, which topped the milk powder production with 1,200 MT produced in a day.
