The two pie charts compare the Qatari and Omani import totals, measured in tonnes, for five different types of vegetables – spinach, brocoli, garlic, peas, and ginger – in 1990. Overall, spinach was the most imported vegetable in Qatar, while the least imported were peas. In contrast, Oman imported more garlic, whereas the reverse was true for brocoli and ginger whose indexes were identical. Notably, Qatar represented a relatively more balanced pattern without any marked dominant figures, except from spinach.
Looking at Qatari imports first, the biggest share accounted for 450 tonnes for spinach, which was thrice times as high as that of peas, at 150 tonnes. Garlic was the second most imported vegetable with 340 tonnes, followed closely by 300 tonnes of ginger. Brocoli imports showed a moderate share, at 220, which was significantly higher than the least imported vegetable – peas.
By contrast, there was a clear dominant figure for Omani imports, which made up 800 tonnes of garlic, double the quantity of peas (400 tonnes). It is also worth mentioning that the spinach with 600 tonnes was two times as large as the shares for ginger and brocoli, each amounting to 300 tonnes.
