The percentage then dropped dramatically to 20 percent in 1995, which was followed by a continous fall for the next seven years that finished at 18 percent in 2012. US also experienced a modest decrease with a different fluctuating pattern. The country’s acceptance rate for Australian exports in 1990 was at 12 percent before it dropped to nine percent in 1995. The patterns keep fluctuating from 1995 to 2010, which was ended at seven percent in 2012.

However, the number then fell a bit in 2012 at 6 percent. Although China was the second lowest country that received Australian exports in 1990 at two and a half percent, the country’s acceptance rate skyrocketed throughout the next 20 years, surpassing US and Japan in 2002 and 2005 respectively. In 2012, the country reached its peak at 30 percent, becoming the highest proportion in the group.
