The graph below shows the differences in wheat exports over three different areas. Write a report for a university lecture describing the information shown below.

The graph provides information about

wheat

exports

from Australia,

Canada

, and the

European

Community

from 1985 to 1990. Generally speaking, the

exports

of

wheat

in Australia,

Canada

, and the

European

Community

did not change much in number in 1990 compared to 1985, but there were various trends in between. In detail, the export numbers of

wheat

at the beginning of the period were in the range of 15 to 20

million

tonnes

in all areas, which did not show much difference in numbers. In

Canada

and the

European

Community

,

wheat

exports

were steady at approximately 19 and 17

million

tonnes

, respectively, but

then

grew for the next two years. After that,

exports

in

Canada

suddenly dropped from a peak of 25

million

tonnes

to 15

million

tonnes

. In the

last

year, sales increased again but only reached about 17

million

tonnes

. Unlike

Canada

, the

European

Community

's

exports

consistently grew at a steady rate, reaching above 20

million

tonnes

in 1990.

On the other hand

, Australia’s

wheat

exports

initially

increased from 15

million

tonnes

in 1985 to around 17

million

tonnes

in 1986, but

then

gradually decreased to 12

million

tonnes

by 1990.

Overall

,

at the end

of the period, the

European

Community

had the highest

wheat

exports

,

while

Australia had the lowest.
