Band 8+: The graph below shows the differences in wheat exports over three different areas. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The line graph illustrates the amount of wheat exported from Australia, Canada, and the European Community between 1985 and 1990.

Overall, there was a noticeable increase in wheat exports from Canada and the European Community, while Australia experienced a steady decline in wheat exports over the same period.

The graph shows that in 1985, approximately 15 to 20 million tonnes of wheat were exported from these three nations. In 1986, there was a slight decrease in exports from Canada and the European Community before both countries experienced a significant peak in 1988, with Canada reaching 25 million tonnes. During the same period, the European Community’s exports remained stable. However, from 1988 to 1990, there was a substantial increase in wheat exports from the European Community, surpassing 20 million tonnes in 1990. Conversely, Canadian wheat exports experienced a moderate drop of around 10 million tonnes in 1989 before recovering in the following years. Australia, on the other hand, saw a significant decrease in wheat exports to nearly 10 million tonnes in both 1986 and 1990.
