The EU-28 market consumed 6.5 million tonnes of bananas in 2019, down by 0.7 % over one year. The dollar group saw a distinct downturn, while the ACP origins and EC production registered a really fine year. In terms of market share, the vast majority of the supply remained in the hands of the dollar banana, with 73.6 % (- 1.5 points), as opposed to 16.8 % (+ 1 point) for the ACPs and 9.6 % (+ 0.5 points ) for European production.
In terms of consumption per capita, there was a drop for the first time since 2012 to an average of 12.7 kg per year, i.e. down by 115 g. This average does not have much significance when we bear in mind the difference that there is between a Romanian or Bulgarian consumer (between 5 and 7 kg per year) and a British or Swedish consumer (between 17 and 18 kg per year).
