Band 9: The table below shows the production of milk annually in four countries in 1990. 2000 and 2010. Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The given chart illustrates the changes in the amount of milk (measured in liters) produced in four nations from 1990 to 2010.

Overall, there was a downward trend in the production of milk in Australia, while the opposite was true in the case of the Netherlands, Tanzania, and Guatemala. It is also clear that Netherlands and Australia consistently produced far more milk than the counterparts.

In terms of the categories, that contributed to larger figures, in 1990, the Netherlands and Australia produced nearly identical production levels, at 11,262,000 and 11,246,000, respectively. The Netherlands saw a slight decrease to 11,155,000 in 2000 before rebounding to 11,466,000 in 2010. However, milk production in Australia fell continually to just 9,165,000 in the final year.

Turning to countries with lower production, despite starting with a modest 87,000 in 1990, the production of milk in Tanzania witnessed a substantial growth, reaching 155,000 after two decades. Similarly, Guatemala’s milk production rose sharply, with the milk output more than tripling from 26,000 in the first year.
