Germans like asparagus and are the largest consumers as well as the biggest producers in Europe.

asparagus fields.
Germany is now the largest producer in Europe with 92 000 tons, which puts it ahead of France that produces only 18,000 tonnes (in Aquitaine, the south-east, Val de Loire and Alsace).
