The table illustrates the volume of milk produced in Australia over the period from 2001/2002 to 2010/2011, measured in millions of litres.
Overall, it is evident that milk production followed a rise-then-fall pattern in both years during the period before falling towards winter. Additionally, October was the peak month in both years, despite some small fluctuations.
Regarding 2001/2002, milk production started at 590 million litres in July, followed by a gradual climb to reach a peak of 920 million litres in October. Afterward, the figure dropped dramatically to 550 million litres in February before, experiencing a slight recovery, ending at 610 millionl litres, which was similar to the figure in 2010/2011.
Between 2010 and 2011, a similar trend can be observed. Milk production went up from 590 millions litres to a peak of 1,350 million litres in October, which substantially surpassed the figure recorded in the earlier year. Following this, the output dropped steadily, dipping to 740 million litres in February before ending at 590 million litres in June, a figure almost identical to that of 2001/2002.
