The line graph presents data on wheat exports from Australia, Canada, and the European Community between 1985 and 1990, measured in millions of tonnes. Overall, the three exporters show distinct trends: Canada’s figures fluctuate sharply, Australia’s exports steadily decline, and the European Community demonstrates gradual growth toward the end of the period.
In 1985, Canada exported the largest quantity, at around 19 million tonnes, followed by the European Community at approximately 17 million tonnes and Australia at about 15 million tonnes. Canada’s exports increased substantially over the next three years, reaching a peak of roughly 25 million tonnes in 1988. However, this was followed by a significant drop to 15 million tonnes in 1989, before recovering to around 19 million tonnes in 1990.
Australia, by contrast, experienced a continuous downward movement. Starting at 15 million tonnes in 1985, its exports fell progressively each year, reaching nearly 10 million tonnes by 1990, the lowest point recorded among all three exporters during the period.
The European Community displayed moderate fluctuations in the earlier years but maintained relative stability around 14-15 million tonnes until 1988. From that point, its exports rose steadily, climbing to approximately 21 million tonnes in 1990.
In summary, Canada showed the most volatility, Australia consistently declined, and the European Community ended the period with a marked upward trend.
