According to still-provisional figures, avocado consumption in Europe rose by 11 % between 2019 and 2020. At nearly 145 000 t, France remained by far the main market on the Old Continent, with consumption now approaching 2.2 kg/capita. Germany for the first time took over second place in the ranking by volume (taking in more than 100 000 t), after another record growth year (+ 21 %). It is now ahead of the United Kingdom, despite the latter’s considerable 7 % rise. There was growth of between 0 and 9 % in the Scandinavian countries, which remain the leaders in terms of consumption per capita, if we exclude Finland (from more than 2.2 kg/capita in Sweden to more than 3.0 kg/capita in Denmark). Italy confirmed an increasing interest in Hass, with volumes consumed in excess of 25 000 t.
