The chart delineates the proportion of fruit and vegetables intake in the daily routine among three groups: women, men, and children in 2002, 2006, and 2010.
Overall, the percentage of consumption of these crops by women was higher than the other groups. Although children experienced the lowest figures for fresh produce, they saw the largest growth from 2002 to 2010.
It is obvious that the percentage of fresh produce consumption by women (25%) was 3 percent and over twice as much as men (22%) and children (11%) respectively in 2002. In 2006, the proportion of consumption of these products reached the highest figures compared to 2002 and 2010; the percentage of eating fruit and vegetables for women, men, and children had increased by 7%, 6%, and 5% separately.
Nevertheless, in 2010, the figures for consumption of fresh produce saw a moderate decrease, but for all of them, the percentage of eating fresh produce was higher than in 2002. It is clear that for women, more than one quarter of daily intake included fruit and vegetables, 27%, while for men it was lower than one-fourth, 24%, and for children it was 14% in 2010, which was more than the amount of these products in 2002.
