The provided line graph demonstrates the Australian export proportions to four countries: Japan, the USA, China, and India, in the series of years from 1990 to 2012.
Overall, it is obvious that there were two major tendencies in the export productivity percentages of Australia to four nations. China and India witnessed rises in export rates, while the opposite was true for Japan and the US.
In 1990, Australian export figures began with Japan’s export dominance at below 30%, followed by America with an exporting rate nearly half of Japan’s, between 10% and 15%. Meanwhile, the two Asian countries, China and India, commenced with the lowest percentages, under 5%.
During the two decades, the ratio of export activities of Japan and the USA experienced fluctuation. Japan had a constant decrease during the period from 1990 to 2012, hitting a trough at approximately 20% in 2012, while the US rate fluctuated from 1995 to 2000 within the range of 10% to 13% before plummeting to nearly 5% in 2010. In contrast, China surpassed the others to become the leader in Australia’s export rate over 22 years, peaking at 30% in the final year. Notably, India saw a remarkable increase of nearly 10% from 1990 to 2010 before having a steady reduction in the latter period.
