Switzerland's vegetable consumption fell in 2016

Switzerland saw a drop in total vegetable consumption in 2016. Vegetable consumption in 2016 totaled 83.5 kg per capita, a decrease of 1.5 kg from the previous year. This trend was recorded for the first time in many years.
 
Industry experts believe that weather conditions were far from favorable last year. After a good start to the season, there followed a wave of cold and frost in May that resulted in losses and delays for many productions. This year, more stable climatic conditions would allow better yields and is expected to boost consumption.
 
Last year, domestic and imported products that the Swiss preferred were: carrots, tomatoes, peppers, iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, onions and courgettes.
