OK, below you say you have 256,320 tuples in vtddiaaec so Seq Scan is correct
- if you're going to need 75918 tuples then an index won't help.

So for the year 2002 you're trying to get:
1, FOOD AND DRINK, (totals...)
2, FRESH FOOD, (totals)
Without the description, is the totalling fast? Without the totals is
selecting the descriptions fast?
If so (and they should be), try creating two views - one with the totals, one
with descriptions and create a select to join them - does that do the trick?
From Tom's answer, your problem seems to be that the join is happening
earlier than you want. You should be able to rewrite the query in one go, but
views might make it easier.
