|---|
Of the 8,700 or so tons of ice cream produced in Estonia
during last year almost half was exported. The import of ice cream to Estonia
totaled 2,400 tons.
The export of ice cream peaks in the three summer months of
June, July and August, when 40 percent of the total amount of ice cream
exported from Estonia during a year is exported, Evelin Puura, lead statistician-methodologist at Statistics
Estonia, said in the blog of Statistics Estonia.
In 2016, ice cream made in Estonia was exported to 13
countries in four continents. Of the exports 97% went to the other Baltic
countries and Finland.
The ice cream imported to Estonia mainly comes from Latvia,
Lithuania, Finland and, since 2013, also from Poland. Ice cream is
imported to Estonia from 14 countries across Europe.
Based on the statistics for output and exports and imports,
it can be concluded that Estonian residents mainly eat locally made ice cream
and they eat some 5.5 kilograms of ice cream every year.
