The line graph delineates the fluctuations in coffee exports from Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica over a decade, specifically from 2002 to 2012, quantified in millions of kilograms.
In summary, while all three countries exhibited growth in coffee exports over the specified period, their trajectories varied significantly, with Brazil consistently leading the export figures.
In 2002, Brazil commenced its coffee exportation at approximately 13 million kilograms, demonstrating a steady increase to about 15 million kilograms by 2006, ultimately culminating in an impressive peak of 25 million kilograms in 2012. Conversely, Colombia’s exports started at a modest 5 million kilograms in 2002 and displayed relatively stable figures between 5 and 7 million kilograms from 2006 to 2008. By 2012, Colombia’s coffee exports reached around 10 million kilograms, marking a notable rise but still trailing behind Brazil significantly.
Costa Rica’s performance presented a contrasting narrative; it began at approximately 7 million kilograms in 2002 but experienced a downturn to roughly 4 million kilograms by 2006. A remarkable resurgence occurred in 2008, with exports soaring to 15 million kilograms, before stabilizing around 7 million kilograms by 2012. This fluctuation indicates a volatile export strategy compared to Colombia’s more consistent growth trajectory. Ultimately, Brazil maintained its dominance throughout the decade, with Costa Rica and Colombia exhibiting more variable export patterns.
