The two pie charts compare the percentage of water consumption of six different agricultural products and their respective contributions to total income in 2004.
Overall, it is clear that while vegetables were the most water-intensive product, fruits were the most economically valuable, yielding the highest share of the aggregate earnings. Additionally while some products showed a direct correlation between water use and revenue generated, others exhibited significant disparities.
Vegetables accounted for nearly half of the overall water consumption at 46%, yet they contributed a lower proportion of earnings at 31%. Conversely, fruits utilized 28% of the water but generated a leading 40% of the gross revenue.
Produce such as cereal and lime showed a direct correlation between resources and profit, with both accounting for 12% and 8% in both categories, respectively. In contrast, rice and dandelion used the least amount of water (3% each), but their financial contribution differed greatly: dandelion earned 8% of total profit, whereas rice contributed a mere 1%.
