The provided chart illustrates the mass of dairy production in 2012. The data gathered was subcategorized into 4 products, each of which was documented in the top three countries launching it.
Overall, the European Union (EU) led the manufacture of milk and cheese. Meanwhile, milk is the most consumed dairy product, outnumbering others.
As can be seen, 2012 was the period during which milk was the most demanded product, with two of the top three figures surpassing the six figures threshold: nearly 143000 Metric tons (MT) in EU, and 127000 in India. Ranked third, the United States also possessed a remarkably high figure of 90000. Not only in the forefront of milk manufacture, the EU also possessed the highest number of factories curdling milk into cheese, with the dispensing of about 7000, dominating the chess-making field.
On the contrary, the EU lost its predominance when it came to butter and milk powder production: the region positioned itself in the second in butter (2040 MT), and in the third of powder milk (770 MT), eclipsed by its Asian and New Zealand counterparts.
