The graph provides information about the figures for Australian exports to four countries over a period of 22 years. These countries are Japan, the US, China, and India. It can be seen from the graph that the proportion of exports to Japan and the US significantly dropped over the 22-year period, while the proportion of exports to China and India increased significantly. At the end of the period, Japan had the highest percentage of exports among the four countries.
In 1990, the percentage of exports to Japan was 20%, while the percentage of exports to the US was 9%. The proportion of exports to India was 1%, which was lower than the proportion of exports to China, which was 2.5%. However, over the next five years, the proportion of exports to both Japan and the US decreased considerably, to 20% and 9% respectively. Meanwhile, exports to India remained stable at 1%, and the figure for China had a slight increase of 3% in 1995.
In 2012, there was a gradual fluctuation in the percentage of exports to the US, which stood at 7% at the end of the period. At the same time, the figure for Japan steadily decreased to 17%. On the other hand, exports to China rapidly increased by 1% to 6%. However, the most significant change was the percentage of exports to India, which reached a peak of 30% in 2012. Overall, the graph shows that while exports to Japan and the US decreased, exports to China and India increased considerably over the 22-year period.
