The pie chart presents the distribution of water consumption for various agricultural purposes and the respective income generated from these products (including vegetables, rice, fruit, sugar, cotton, dairy, and livestock) in Australia in 2004.
Overall, a significant portion of water was allocated to livestock consumption, yet it yielded a disproportionately low percentage of income. In contrast, the profit earned from fruit was strikingly higher, at four times the proportion of water used for irrigation.
Specifically, 36% of water was directed towards livestock, followed by cotton and dairy at 15% and 19%, respectively. The amount of water used for fruit and sugar products was considerably lower, with percentages of 10% and 11%, respectively. Figures for rice and vegetables were the lowest among others, at 5% and 4% respectively.
Regarding income, 44% of total earnings came from fruit, making it the most profitable agricultural product. Dairy product was considered the second-greatest yielding products, accounting for 24%, followed distantly by cotton goods, at 13%. Furthermore, the proportion of revenue from livestock and sugar was almost the same, at 6% and 7% respectively. Lastly, the lowest figures were accounted for by vegetable and rice yields, at 5% and 1%.
