The given line graph provides information about the proportion of Australian exports to four countries, Japan, US, China, and India from 1990 to 2012.
Overall, there was an upward trend in the percentage of Australian goods exported to India and China, while the US and Japan witnessed an opposite trend over the period shown. In addition, at the beginning, Japan was the main importer of Australian goods, but in the last year China surpassed it and ranked first.
It is immediately evident that in 1990, Japan was the dominant destination for Australian exports with around 27% compared to just over 10% for the United States. China and India, on the other hand, experienced a negligible figure with roughly 2% and 3%, respectively.
Afterward, the data for Japan consistently fell in a range of 5% over 5 years before remaining fairly stable at 18% to 20% in the remaining time. Likewise, the percentage of Australian exports to United States and India fluctuated throughout the period, both ending in the approximate range of 5%. The most notable development was the statistic for imported Australian goods in China, it started with only 3%, but skyrocketed from 2000 to 2012 and peaked at 30%.
