The provided line graph demonstrates the total clothing export amounts from three different countries (Colombia, Japan, and Myanmar) over a period from 1990 to 2013.
Overall, Myanmar experienced a high fluctuation rate in clothing exports. In contrast, both Colombia and Japan exhibited generally similar export rates with less fluctuation compared to Myanmar over this 23-year period.
In 1990, Japan and Colombia started with sales of approximately 580 and 450 million dollars, respectively, while Myanmar reported no exports that year. However, this changed the following year as Myanmar’s exports rose dramatically to 800 million dollars, nearly 520 million more than the combined sales of Colombia and Japan in the same year. By 2011, all three countries were exporting high volumes of clothing, with Myanmar leading the way at over 900 million dollars.
In 2012, Myanmar’s export figure saw a drastic decline to almost 350 million dollars. In contrast, Colombia became the top exporter that year, reaching 700 million dollars, which was nearly 150 million more than Japan’s exports. Nevertheless, there was a slight decrease in the total clothing exports for Colombia and Japan, while Myanmar’s figures gradually climbed to slightly above 400 million dollars, although it still recorded the lowest amount in clothing exports during this period.
