The table illustrates the annual production of milk in litres in four nations, namely the Netherlands, Australia, Tanzania, and Guatamela, for the years 1990, 2000 and 2010.
Overall, the Nethelands consistently produced the highest amount of milk across the three decades, while Tanzania and Guatamela showed significant growth despite their relatively low initial figures. In contrast, Australia experienced a gradual decline over the period.
In 1990, both the Netherlands and Australia produced almost equal quantities of milk, with 11,262,000 and 11,246,000 litres respectively. However, while Dutch production remained stable, showing only a slight rise to 11,466,000 litres by 2010, Australia’s output decreased considerably to 9,165,000 litres in the same year.
Meanwhile, milk production in Tanzania and Guatemala started from much lower levels but demonstrated notable increases. Tanzania’s output grew steadily from 87,000 litres in 1990 to 1,55,000 litres in 2010. Similarly, Guatemala, which had only 26,000 litres in 1990, more than tripled its production to 84,000 litres by 2010.
In summary, although the Netherlands maintained the highest and most stable milk production, the most remarkable changes were seen in the rapid growth of Tanzania and Guatemala, while Australia was the only country to experience a decline.
