tonnes

.

This

figure slumped slightly in the following year to 17 and rose sharply from 1986 to 1988 to reach a peak of 25

million

tonnes

. The subsequent year saw a rapid decline in exports reaching a low of just below 15

million

tonnes

, followed by another climb

at the end

of the period at 18

dropped gradually to 14 in 1986. During the next two years, wheat's export was stable and levelled off at 15

.

This

number increased during the remainder of the period and ended in 1990 at 21

By contrast

, Australia's exports saw a gradual decline from 1986 to 1990 finishing the trend at just 12

million

, despite a shy growth at the beginning of 1985 that started at 15

million

and gained just around 1
