IELTS Writing Task 1 - Grammar 9?

I think getting 9 for grammar is harder for Task 1 than for Task 2 because it's harder to show a wide range. Do you think this answer (body paragraphs only) deserves 9 for grammar?

Written by a student - the wonderful Alisher Soliev.

"When it comes to consumption, Europe led the way with 96.1kg per person, followed distantly by North America, where 57.9kg was consumed. The figures for the next two places in the table, by comparison, were nowhere near as high: Asia as well as South and Central America consumed similar amounts, at 25.8 and 23.6 kilograms per person respectively. In Africa, the consumption rate was the lowest, standing at a mere 14.1kg - a figure that was just over a tenth of the leader's figure.

As far as the production of this vegetable is concerned, Europe harvested 126.3 million tons and was placed after Asia, which produced about 5 million tonnes more compared to Europe. North America, in the meantime, ranked third, albeit with a considerably lower quantity of 24.7 million tonnes. Of particular note is the fact that Africa didn't rank last, as it did in the former table, with the production quantity of 16.4 million tonnes; it was, in fact, South and Central America that grew only 15.6 million tonnes of potatoes."

Here is the Band 9 description for grammar:
- A wide range of structures within the scope of the task is used with full flexibility and control.
- Punctuation and grammar are used appropriately throughout.
- Minor errors are extremely rare and have minimal impact on communication.
