How much rice do people in Europe consume? Still very far from the 268kg in Bangladesh. Source: https://landgeist.com/2022/06/25/rice-consumption-in-europe/

Interesting, thanks for sharing. 👍

Why does Belgium has such a high rice consumption in comparison to the Netherlands or Germany?

Any special Belgian dish I am not aware of or a high percentage of immigrants?

I honestly have no clue. I mean I know we eat rice, but wouldn’t say we eat a lot of it. And while we do have a large immigrant percentage, not a significant amount of those are from regions where eating rice is popular.

We have a lot of people of Turkish decent, so maybe that’s part of the explanation? Not sure though.

In Belgium, about 2.0% (220000) have Turkish citizenship or (partial) ethnicity/ancestors, whereas in Germany, it’s 4.2% (3.5-4mio people). That can’t be it.

I’m a Portuguese in Belgium and just had rice, there are many Portuguese here as well 😁

PS: but then it should be higher in Luxembourg, so I don’t know.
