Model Answer
The given table illustrates the yearly production of milk in the Netherlands, Australia, Guatemala and Tanzania in 1990, 2000 and 2010. A cursory glance at the graph is enough to make it clear that the maximum production of milk was in the Netherlands throughout the given period.
The Netherlands produced 11,262,000 litres of milk in 1990, but in 2000, the production fell slightly to 11,155,000 litres, but after that it picked up again and reached an all time high of 11,466,9000. Australia was closely behind the Netherlands in the production of milk in 1990. It produced 11,246,000 litres of milk in 1990, but the production fell gradually and reached 9,165,000 litres by 2010. Tanzania, and Guatemala increased their milk production from 87,000 and 26,000 in 1990 to 1,55,000 and 84,000 litres respectively in 2010. The least milk production was in Guatemala throughout the period of twenty years. However, the biggest proportionate increase was also seen in Guatemala as the milk production more than doubled from 1990 to 2000.
Overall, the production of milk increased in all given countries except for Australia, where it decreased over the given period of two decades.
