What was the consumption of peppers in Germany recently?
Germany
Tuesday 21 April 2009
Following a slight dip in consumption figures, the Germans have reconfirmed their love for peppers, buying an average of 4.9 kilos per household in 2008, which represents a return to the volume purchased in 2006.
This data was announced by GFK, the German Consumer Research Organisation, following its annual study of German households’ fresh produce purchases commissioned by the German Central Market and Price Monitoring Agency (ZMP).
The highest ever pepper consumption figure for Germany remains an average of 5.3 kilos of peppers per household, recorded in 2003 and again in 2005.
Figures wielded by the Spanish Institute of Foreign Trade (ICEX) for the year 2003 showed an increase of one kilo compared with data corresponding to 1995 (4.3 kg), but since then consumption has not fluctuated so markedly.

Ahead of peppers, the Germans continue to favour tomatoes (10.5 kg consumed), carrots (7.8 kg), cucumbers (7.0 kg) and dry onions (6.6 kg).
