European countries with most produced fruits and vegetables by value
by visvis
Data source: FAO Value of Agricultural Production, 2019
It
is sometimes hard to determine what is and what is not a fruit or
vegetable. Many plants that are fruits or vegetables in a botanical
sense are not considered such in a culinary sense. From the FAO list, I
have excluded all products of animal origin, all nuts and seeds, all
products used for their oil (in particular, olives), grains (in
particular, maize), and all starchy foods typically used as the
carbohydrate part of the meal (in particular, potatoes). I did include
beans as vegetables. These choices are somewhat arbitrary, and can even
differ between countries, but I think this best reflects what people
typically perceive to be fruits and vegetables.In
terms of countries, I included those listed by FAO as part of Europe
(note: there is no data for Montenegro and Kosovo) and additionally
Turkey and Cyrprus (bothof which FAO considers to be Western Asia).Background map: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blank_map_of_Europe_(without_disputed_regions).svg)
