✨ AI Insight

China leads with 407.1 kg of vegetables per person per year, more than a kilogram a day and around 30 kg clear of Albania on 376.8. China's position is striking for a country of 1.4 billion, since sustaining that level requires an agricultural system of extraordinary scale. The Balkans form the most distinctive cluster, with Albania, Croatia and North Macedonia all in the top four, reflecting Mediterranean dietary patterns and strong domestic horticulture. Central Asia contributes Kazakhstan on 300.8, Uzbekistan on 274.4 and Tajikistan on 256.9. No Western European or North American country appears anywhere near this list, a reminder that vegetable-heavy diets track culture and local agriculture far more closely than they track wealth.
