As per my understanding
Pie charts are used to represent proportion of different items attributed to single category (Ex. proportion of different pulses production in one country.
Pie charts can be used for comparison and to get and idea for changes with respect to time frame or other variable.
Usually, Usage of tense is based on situation or scenario presented in chart. If there is time frame of past years we need to use past tense verbs.
