Regarding consumption per individual, the level of potatoes incorporated into each European resident’s diet was 96.1 kg, followed by North America at nearly 58 kg. Furthermore, the figures for South and Central America combined and Asia were fairly comparable at around 24 kg, whereas Africa was the lowest at 14.1 kg.

Moreover, Europe ranked second at 126.3 million tonnes. The remaining regions produced significantly lower levels of potatoes, with the highest among those being North America at just 24.7 million tonnes.
