How to read this table
Country differences are visible through row comparisons, showing specific consumption levels for each nation. For example, in Austria, the figure remained at 14 kilograms throughout the period, while values in other countries varied. Comparing these series allows for tracking which countries consume more or less seafood and how these positions changed over thirteen years
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Portugal (58), Spain (44), Vietnam (41), Finland (35), France (35). Gap between highest and lowest — 29 times. The top five account for 42% of the total for all positions
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 7 observation periods. There are 175 values in the table out of 175 possible, that is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

Period and application
Annual data for 31 countries are available for analyzing international changes in consumer behavior. Statistics are updated according to the Rosstat publication schedule and cover the time series from 2010 to 2023. This information is useful for food market researchers, economists, and those studying dietary structures across different regions
How it is calculated
Noted in the source itself: For all countries except Russia — FAO estimates. Fish and seafood are given in live weight equivalent. From 2014 — methodology change. For Russia — Rosstat data (fish and seafood given in live weight… 2024 — 24.6 kg
1) По всем странам, кроме России, – оценки ФАО. Рыба и морепродукты приводятся в эквиваленте живого веса продукции. С 2014 г. – изменение методологии. По России – данные Росстата (рыба и морепродукты приводятся в живом весе продукции).
2) 2024 г. – 24,6 кг.
