The provided table compares the distribution of milk production across four countries from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, the Netherlands and Australia dominated annual milk production with some minor differences over the period, while Tanzania and Guatemala had relatively smaller figures. Additionally, the quantity of milk produced increased in all countries except Australia.
In 1990, the Netherlands had dominance in milk production, producing 11,262,000 liters, closely followed by Australia with 11,246,000 liters. This gap became even more pronounced after ten years, as Australia decreased its milk production significantly to 11,105,000 liters, compared to its counterpart, the Netherlands, which increased to 11,255,000 liters in 2000. This tendency continued in 2010, when approximately 11.5 million liters of milk were produced in the Netherlands, far exceeding the figure for Australia, which barely went beyond 9 million liters.
Tanzania and Guatemala showed relatively modest numbers. For example, in 1990, Tanzania’s milk production capacity was around 90,000 liters, three times more than that of Guatemala, at 26,000 liters. This trend became even clearer when the former’s milk production improved to 142,000 in 2000 and then further rose to 150,000 in 2010, while that of the latter first doubled, reaching 55,000 in 2000, and finally peaked at 84,000 in the final year.
