The line graph illustrates the percentage of export from Australia to four countries, namely Japan, the US, China, India over a 22-year period.
Overall, the export rate rose in China and India, while the reverse is true for figures in the US and Japan.

Second top importer was the US, at around 11% of import in 1990. The figure for it demonstrated a slight fluctuation and decreased to around 7% by the end of the period.
China and India were countries that got the least amount of export from Austrlia in 1990. Despite the change in the rate of export towards the end of the period, India remained the least importer, at around 6%. However, the opposite is true for China: starting from roughly a mere 3% in 1990, the figure witnessed a steady increase to just under 30% by 2012.
