The two tables compare five regions around the world in terms of potato consumption per person and total potato production in 2006.
Overall, Europeans had the highest per capita consumption of potatoes, while the largest volume of potatoes was produced in Asia and Oceania. By contrast, Africa recorded the lowest consumption rate, and South and Central America was the region with the smallest production output.
In terms of consumption, each person in Europe ate 96.1 kg of potatoes per year, nearly 40 kg higher than the figure for North America (57.9 kg). Per-person potato consumption in Asia and Oceania, South and Central America, and Africa was significantly lower, at 25.8 kg, 23.6 kg and 14.1 kg respectively.
Turning to production, Asia and Oceania produced the most potatoes, at 131.2 million tonnes, slightly ahead of Europe’s 126.3 million tonnes. The remaining regions produced far fewer potatoes: North America produced 24.7 million tonnes, followed by Africa (16.4 million tonnes) and South and Central America (15.6 million tonnes).
