Band 7+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The map and chart below show the information for the global willingness to eat insect products and the current price for certain food available on the market place. Write a report for a university, lecturer describing the information shown below. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The given map and bar chart depict the consumption of insect foods willingly eaten and the average price of each product in the market.

Overall, from the map, the willingness percentage of citizens living in Mexico, Peru, and Thailand is much higher than in other nations, while the difference between the proportion of willingness and unwillingness is highest at 71% in Mexico. Besides that, from the information in the given bar chart, it is separated into two groups, including common products, which are much cheaper than rare ones.

On the one hand, in the USA, Australia, Africa, India, China, Russia, and several European nations, a low proportion of willingness to eat insect products remained, which is under 36%. However, in Mexico, Peru, and Thailand, a higher percentage of residents would prefer to eat those willingly.

On the other hand, common products such as cattle, pork, poultry, and rice have a lower floor price. Whereas, that of wild plants or vegetables and small insects is much higher, due to the difficulty in finding them and their unique properties.
