Selected country ratios of fruit and vegetable availability to WHO age-specific recommendations

Countries shown were chosen to provide a representative group of countries from each region, including the maximum and minimum across the region. Countries in each region are listed in descending order by 2010 population. Food availability excludes consumer food waste. 1965 and 1990 values are from FAOSTAT commodity balance sheets²⁷ and 2015 and 2050 values are projections from IMPACT using three scenarios (SSP1–3) using default diets (based on historical trends). Vegetables follow WHO definitions excluding legumes and starchy roots and tubers. The vertical lines represent when availability (excluding waste) equals one times (red), two times (grey), and three times (green) the population weighted average recommended consumption levels. IMPACT=International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade. SSP=Shared Socioeconomic Pathway. *Data up to 1990 are presented for the former Soviet Union as a whole, whereas data from 2015 onwards are presented separately for Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan.
