WTF lol why are we so high? Is Benelux the potato region?!!!!
Honestly amazed at Belgium here since we’re only the size of a small potato.
Time to actually build the Markerwaard.
Ah yes, Holland. The Belarus of the west
Henk knows his spud,
Praise to the mayonnaise.
I mean when you think about the size of the countries, I feel like we did a great job at our potato production.
Paddy didn’t even place – the poor little fellas
If you look really closely, Ireland pops up for just a split second. What the hell went wrong there?
Yes, we’re the biggest potato heads in **absolute*( figures!
One doesn’t even *dare* to start imagining the number of potato heads per capita !?
Ireland: 0
Why so many potatos Jan?
What’s up with the rise and fall of Saudi Arabia around 2010, lol. Is it like some sheikh or prince idea ‘We should home grow massive amount of potatoes to show the might of the Kingdom 💪💪💪’ so they do the massive potato farming megaproject that takes a few bln $$, produces potatoes at like 10$/kilo and is closed 2 years after due to economical unsustainability?
Belgium so high with so high urbanization level as well????? Where do you even grow so many potatoes?????
I fucking hate these animations. Worst data visualisation ever, designed to do well on socials rather than inform the viewer.
Clearly you lads need to drain Dogger Bank
Wait!
Ireland is a scam?
WTF Finn?!
These numbers are not potato production. Hurts to say but germany and France both have higher total agricultural production than NL and belgium. And they’ve done so for all of last decade.
For 2024 in terms of agricultural production, eurostat has germany at 12Mt, france at 9, turkey almost 7, NL 6.5, Poland 6, BE 4 by weight. Numbers are a lil different in euro / value terms.
Benelux does win in agricultural output per ha, which is pretty much the per capita stat for farmers. Keeping my Dutch bros happy here.
These numbers are likely export numbers including potato derivates. Benelux #1 in converting potato into products that are then sold. I.e. belgium processes more than 6 Mt potatos a year, to deepfried fries and lots of other stuff. We process more potatos than we produce. We import raw potato, and export potato based intermediates en masse.

Disappointed in Denmark … we nearly had the potato language top 3
Jaaaah, meer van dit! Ik wil de mestproductiegrafieken!
Ok, I got to ask. How come Poland shot uo so quickly and then crashed in a couple years?
In the past, East Germany alone produced 9 million tons annually, because we had to ensure the glorious Soviet Army does not starve.
I can see why the Irish go to the Neatherlands
Denmark barely on the list, just because they tend to grow the potatoes in their throat, but would be higher if they took out the potato from their throat and started growing them in the ground.
2027 we coming for the title
The fact that you don’t have enough space makes you innovate otherwise you would do like the Muricans and just use a giant field
We used to be a proper country.
Do you even matter if you’re not on the glorious potato list?

Imagine what we could do… united

Import shananigans, as always.
Extra price on Swedish potatoes right now.

“When Elin put in the wrong order…”
So you’re saying that we win per capita 😅?

Fake News. [„In the past 2023/24 fiscal year, 11.6 million tonnes of potatoes were produced in Germany. The subsequent 2024 harvest was slightly higher at 12.7 million tonnes.“](https://www.ble.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/BZL/Daten-Berichte/Kartoffeln/2025BerichtKartoffeln.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=3)

My family are potato farmers 🙂
Where does this data come from? [This year’s harvest](https://www.innovations-report.de/landwirtschaft-umwelt/agrar-forstwissenschaften/bericht-34751/) is expected to be in the range of 12.6 million tons for Germany.
In the past, East Germany alone produced 9 million tons annually, because we had to ensure the glorious Soviet Army does not starve.

For anyone wondering
Haha. Sweden and Norway not even in the game!
(They don’t need potatoes to speak)
Germans only in the 80s realized that they are Kartoffelfresser
Most potatoes per capita!
