Vegetable Consumption by Country 2023
Key Findings
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. 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, North Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina all in the top ten, reflecting Mediterranean dietary patterns and strong domestic horticulture. Central Asia contributes Kazakhstan on 301.5 and Uzbekistan on 262.6. 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.
