The tables below provide information about the consumption and production of potatoes in five parts of the world in 2006.
1. Sample 1:
The tables provided illustrate a comparative overview of potato consumption and production across five global regions in 2006. A notable contrast emerges, with Europe and North America leading in consumption, while Asia and Europe are at the forefront of production.
In terms of consumption, Europe is the highest consumer, with an average per capita intake of 96.1 kilograms. Following closely, North America registers a per person consumption of 57.9 kilograms. Asia and South and Central America display similar consumption figures, averaging 25.8 and 23.6 kilograms per capita, respectively. Africa, on the other hand, has the lowest consumption rate at just 14.1 kilograms, which is significantly less than that of the other regions.
Regarding production, Asia and Europe emerge as the leading producers, generating approximately 131 million and 126 million tonnes, respectively. In contrast, North America's production is considerably lower, amounting to 24.7 million tonnes. South and Central America and Africa together contribute around 16 million tonnes, which is roughly one-eighth of Europe’s output.

2. Sample 2:
The tables illustrate the consumption and production of potatoes in five different regions of the world in 2006. The first table shows the average consumption per person in kilograms, while the second table provides the total potato consumption in million tonnes.
Overall, Europe had the highest average potato consumption per person, while Asia consumed the largest quantity in total. Africa, on the other hand, showed the lowest figures in both categories.
In terms of per capita consumption, Europe led significantly with 96.1 kg per person, almost double that of North America, which had the second-highest consumption at 57.9 kg. Asia, despite having a large population, had a relatively low average consumption of 25.8 kg per person, followed by South and Central America at 23.6 kg. Africa had the lowest individual potato consumption at 14.1 kg per person.
When it comes to total potato consumption, Asia topped the list with 131.2 million tonnes, which was marginally higher than Europe’s total of 126.3 million tonnes. North America consumed much less in total at 24.7 million tonnes, and South and Central America followed closely behind with 15.6 million tonnes. Africa consumed the least amount overall, at just 16.4 million tonnes.
