Americans eat 10 times more ice cream than Ukrainians

Americans eat 10 times more ice cream than Ukrainians, reports Ihor Bartkovsky, the president of the Ice Cream and Frozen Foods Producers Association of Ukraine. Americans pack away 24 kg per person a year, partly due to higher purchasing power and hotter temperatures in much the US. But this summer is off to a good start. Ukrainian production through mid-June hit 91,800 tons – 7% more than during all of last year. Much of the growth if fueled by a 23% increase in exports this year, Bartkovsky told Ukrinform.
