The line chart illustrates the proportion of Australian products exported to four nations during the given period from 1990 to 2012.
As can be seen from the graph, while the products exported to India and China experienced upward trends, the opposite was true for Japan and US. In addition, China saw the biggest increase in the rate imported from Australia over the period.
In 1990, 26% of products exported to Japan, which was significantly higher than the figure for the US. For the following twenty two years, the rate of exports to Japan dropped gradually to 16% in 2012. Similarly, after fluctuating between 8% and 11% from 1990 to 2000, the percentage of goods exported to the US fell by 6% in 2012.
By contrast, China imported 3% of goods from Australia in 1990. This figure grew rapidly to 28% in 2012. Meanwhile, the proportion of products exported to India remained unchanged until 2000, and then increased to about 7% in 2010, before declining slightly to 5% in 2012.
