The first pie chart illustrates the agricultural water usage for six different products, while the other demonstrates the revenue from those products in Australia, in the year 2004.
Overall, it is clear that vegetables required the largest use of water, while the reverse was true for rice and livestock. Additionally, fruits emerged as the most valued products of all six.
Regarding the proportion of water usage, nearly half of the water was used for vegetables, at 46%, followed by fruits, at 28%. Meanwhile, the water used for cereal and dairy was significantly lower, which was reported by 12% and 8% respectively. However, the proportion of water used for rice and livestock was the same, both at 3%, making them the two products that required the lowest amount of water.
With regard to the total revenue from products, 42% of income came from selling fruits, while the value of vegetables was lower by approximately 10%. In addition, the value of cereal and dairy were nearly the same as the figures for water usage, at 8% and 13% in that order. In contrast, the total revenue of livestock accounted for 3% of all products, which was 2% higher compared to rice.
