According to data recently released by the website of the Italian Food Union, about 17 million tons of pasta were eaten worldwide last year.
The German news agency quoted the website news on the 25th to report that the average Italian eats more than 23 kilograms of pasta per person every year. People around the world ate about 17 million tons of pasta last year, 1 million tons more than a year ago and twice as many as a decade ago.
The Italian Food Alliance believes that the global spread of the new crown epidemic has pushed up pasta consumption last year to some extent. Compared with the same period last year, global pasta sales have fallen by 9.4% this year.
According to the Italian Association of Small and Medium-sized Farmers, many Italians made pasta by hand during the epidemic, and 40% of families said that they had made their own pasta during the "lockdown".
According to the website of the Italian Food Union, although there are more than 300 types of pasta, italians often eat only about 10 kinds, and spaghetti is the most popular spaghetti in the world. Yuan Yuan (Xinhua News Agency)
