The pie charts compare the proportions of water used to produce six agricultural products and the percentages of total income generated by these products in 2004.
Overall, vegetables and fruits accounted for the largest shares of both water consumption and income. However, fruits generated a considerably higher proportion of income relative to the amount of water used, whereas vegetables showed the opposite pattern.
In terms of water usage, vegetables dominated consumption at 46%, followed by fruits at 28%. Cereal accounted for 12% of water use, while rice required a smaller share at 8%. Lime and dandelion used the least water, each representing only 3% of the total.
By contrast, fruits were the most profitable product, generating 40% of total income despite using less than one-third of the water. Vegetables produced 31% of income, which was noticeably lower than their water consumption share. Cereal and rice contributed 12% and 8% of income respectively, mirroring their water usage. Lime generated 8% of income from minimal water use, while dandelion produced the smallest income share at just 1%.
Overall, the charts highlight significant differences in water efficiency among the products.
