Based on the top bar graph, Indochina (3rd bar) produced 80 million metric tons.
Based on the pie chart, Vietnam accounted for 28% of all of Indochina's total production.
Therefore, Vietnam alone produced 0.28*80 million metric tons = 22.4 million metric tons.
An increase of 25% in Vietnam's production would yield an additional 0.25*22.4 million metric tons = 5.6 million metric tons.
If all other countries' productions stay flat, the overall group's production would be 80+5.6 = 85.6 million metric tons.
85.6 / 80 = 1.07, so the group's production increases by 7%.
