About This Dataset
Vegetable Consumption by Country 2023China leads with 412.7 kg of vegetables per person per year, more than a kilogram a day and around 30 kg clear of Albania on 382.4.

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.
