the graph below shows the difference in wheat exports over three different areas.

The line graph provides the sales of

wheat

abroad from three different countries

such

as Australia,

Canada

and the European Community from 1985 to 1990. The

number

is measured in millions of

tonnes

. In 1985,

wheat

exports from

Canada

were 19

million

tonnes

before dropping slightly to 17

million

in the following year. For the next two years, the

number

escalated drastically and reached its peak in 1988 at 25

million

tonnes

.

Canada

saw a huge drop in exports by over 10

million

tonnes

in 1989.

At the end

of the

period

,

wheat

sales bounced back to the exact

number

it had at the beginning of the

period

. The European community sold approximately 17

million

tonnes

of

wheat

in 1985. The

number

dropped by 3

million

tonnes

the year after, after that

wheat

which was exported kept on rising until the end of the

period

at 21

million

and took over

Canada

as the top exporter of

wheat

. Australia was the lowest country that marketed

wheat

, with 15

million

of which were sent abroad. It experienced a slight increase in 1986, afterwards, the trend of

wheat

export was negative. In 1989, the

number

was at 11

million

and remained unchanged until 1990. In summary,

although

Canada

was the top exporter in 1985, the position was taken over by the European community

at the end

of the

period

.

However

, Australia stayed as the country with the lowest amount of

wheat

sent abroad.
