The table provides data on the milk production in Netherlands, Australia, Tanzania, and Guatemala over three decades.

Overall, the milk production in the Netherlands and Australia was considerably higher than in Tanzania and Guatemala. While the production in the Netherlands remained relatively steady over the three decades, Australia experienced a decrease. On the other hand, Tanzania and Guatemala had significantly lower milk production in 1990, but both countries showed an increase by 2010.

The Netherlands had the highest milk production, with over 11 million litres in each of the three decades. In contrast, Australia produced 11 million litres in the 1990s but experienced a decrease to 9 million litres by 2010. In Tanzania, the milk production was significantly low in the 1990s, at 87,000 litres, but it increased to 1.5 million litres by 2010. Similarly, Guatemala’s milk production was only 84,000 litres in 1990, but showed slight improvements, reaching 84,000 litres by 2010.

Despite the substantial difference in milk production between the Netherlands, Australia, Tanzania, and Guatemala, the production in the Netherlands remained relatively consistent over the three decades. On the other hand, Australia experienced a decline in milk production from 1990 to 2010. In contrast, both Tanzania and Guatemala showed remarkable increases in milk production over the same period, despite starting from significantly lower levels in 1990.
