Consumption of 7.91 kg per capita

Carrots are most popular vegetable in the Swiss market

So the carrot was able to defend its top position from the previous year, as figures from the recently published "Statistical Annual Report on Vegetables" of the Swiss Central Office for Horticulture and Special Cultures show.

With a per capita consumption of 7.91 kilos, the carrot is still clearly ahead of tomatoes (6.61 kilos per capita). Then we see hot peppers, iceberg lettuce and watermelons. A total of 66,629 tons of carrots and 55,656 tons of tomatoes were consumed.



Separately listed in the ranking -on no 10- are cherry tomatoes (2.91 kilos/head). If one were to add these to the other tomatoes, tomatoes would indeed displace carrots.
