The pie charts illustrate the proportion of water consumed for six agricultural products and the percentage of total income generated from these products in 2004.
Overall, vegetables accounted for nearly half of the water usage, making them the largest consumer, while fruits, which used significantly less water, generated the highest income, contributing to two-fifths of the total. Interestingly, cereal and lime showed identical proportions for both water usage and income, whereas rice had the smallest figures in both categories.
Vegetables consumed 46% of the total water, nearly half, making them the most water-intensive product. Fruits required just over a quarter (28%), ranking second, while cereal used a modest 12%, roughly one-eighth of the total. Lime accounted for 8%, or one-twelfth, while rice and dandelion were tied for the smallest proportions, each using only 3%, or approximately one-thirtieth of the total water supply.
Fruits generated 40% of the total income, contributing two-fifths, making them the most profitable product. Vegetables followed closely, producing 38%, or nearly four-tenths. Cereal accounted for 12%, or roughly one-eighth of the income, mirroring its water usage. Both lime and dandelion contributed an equal share of 8%, or one-twelfth, while rice generated a mere 1%, ranking last in profitability, with less than one-tenth of the income produced by any other product.
