The table illustrates the annual milk production in the Netherlands, Australia, Tanzania, and Guatemala from 1990, 2000, and 2010.

It is evident that The Netherlands remained the top milk producer among the four countries, while Guatemala had the lowest milk production. Besides, the data showed that milk production in Tanzania and Guatemala increased significantly during this period.

We can see that milk production in the Netherlands and Australia started at the same level (11,262 million and 11,246 million) in 1990. Over the next ten years, both countries’ dairy products decreased by about 100,000 liters of milk. In 2010, the Netherlands regained the highest position among the four countries when it increased to 11,466,000 liters, while Australia continued to decrease to 9,165,000 liters.

On the other hand, Tanzania and Guatemala started with much lower milk production figures with 87,000 liters and 26,000 liters in 1990. However, both countries increased milk production significantly, with Tanzania nearly doubling production to 155,000 liters and Guatemala nearly tripling production to 84,000 liters over the next 20 years.
