The line graph illustrates the trends in wheat exports from Australia, Canada, and the European Community between 1985 and 1990, measured in millions of tonnes.
Overall, Canada experienced the most fluctuations but remained the leading exporter by the end of the period. The European Community showed a steady upward trend, while Australia saw a gradual decline in wheat exports.
In 1985, Canada exported the highest amount of wheat, at roughly 19 million tonnes. Although this figure dipped slightly to 17 million in 1986, it surged to a peak of 25 million tonnes in 1988. However, exports dropped significantly to below 15 million the following year, before recovering to nearly 20 million tonnes in 1990.
The European Community began the period with around 16 million tonnes exported. After a minor fall in 1986, the figure remained stable at 15 million tonnes for two years, followed by consistent growth, reaching 21 million tonnes by 1990.
In contrast, Australia’s wheat exports started at 15 million tonnes and rose marginally in 1986. From that point onward, however, the figures declined steadily, ending the period at just over 10 million tonnes.
