The given table compares how much New Zealand earned from exporting kiwi fruit to five different countries from 2010 to 2012.
Looking from an overall perspective, while Mexico and Saudi Arabia saw a downward trend over the period shown, the opposite was true for Japan, China, and Russia. Notably, Japan was New Zealand’s largest export market during the period given.
In 2010, Japan had the highest figure at 271,1 million dollars, then it experienced a considerable growth to reach a point of 287,4 million dollars after a year and a final increase to 2012 in 2012. Undergoing a similar trend, the figure for China started at 74,9 million dollars, ranking second, after which it dramatically rose to 84,8 million dollars in 2011, before ending the period at 94 million dollars. Likewise, the figure for Russia increased from 968000 dollars to 2,404 million dollars after a two-years period.
968000 dollars was the third highest in 2010, and it was recorded in Mexico, which subsequently witnessed a significant drop to reach a low of 2,4 million dollars in 2011, followed by a slight increase to 3,3 million dollars in 2012. In the meanwhile, the value of kiwi sold to Saudi Arabia plummeted from $290,000 in 2010 to only $82,000 in 2012.
