Band 7+: The charts below show the use of water for agriculture products in Australia in 2004 and values of these products to the Australian economy in the same year. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie chart provides the statistics of water usage for various agricultural products and the income that came from them in Australia in 2004. Overall, it is clear that

Focusing on the use of water in theAustralian agricultural field first, livestock showed the largest share with a staggering 36%. The figures for dairy and cotton were ranked second and third with 17% on average. The former made up 19%, and the latter exhibited a similar pattern, though slightly lower (15%). The shares for sugar and fruit displayed similar percentages (10% versus 11%), albeit still having adisparity of 1%. Interestingly, the remaining products (rice and vegetables) represented an identical gap, however, on a different level, being 5% and 4%, respectively.

Regarding the economic effect generated from these products, the fruit’s rate topped the list with anoverwhelming 44%. This contrasts sharply with the figure for livestock;even if most of the water was consumed by it, the income was not that impressive, showing only 6%. The income that came from dairysources was the next most profitable, accounting for almost a quarter. The figure for cotton, meanwhile, constituted an almost twice lower rate (14%). Finally, the smallest and nearly the same income was observed in categories, namely rice, vegetables, and sugar, with respective shares of 1%, 5%, and 7%.
