Chocolate is one of the most loved food item across lands and as we prepare to celebrate World Chocolate Day on July 7, let’s take a look at some facts and numbers on the widely craved comfort food. Here's a simple fact to begin with: 50% of the world’s chocolate retail sales occur on the European continent.
In 2017, Switzerland was the highest consumer of chocolate per capita, with an average of 8.8 kg consumed per person. The average Brit, Swiss or German citizen will each eat around 24 pounds of chocolate a year. This means that they eat about as much chocolate every year as seafood.
