In Germany Germany (jûr`mənē), Ger. Deutschland, officially Federal Republic of Germany, republic (2005 est. pop. 82,431,000), 137,699 sq mi (356,733 sq km). , the largest single ice cream market, volume was off 9.1% to 610.4 million liters and 7.6% to 2.788 billion euros. But there was an increase in Spain Spain, Span. España (āspä`nyä), officially Kingdom of Spain, constitutional monarchy (2005 est. pop. 40,341,000), 194,884 sq mi (504,750 sq km), including the Balearic and Canary islands, SW Europe. , 3.6% to 321.8 million liters and 6.7% to 1.527 billion euros. Overall consumption was up two percent to 11,950,300 tons, exclusive of poultry poultry, domesticated fowl kept primarily for meat and eggs; including birds of the order Galliformes, e.g., the chicken, turkey, guinea fowl, pheasant, quail, and peacock; and natatorial (swimming) birds, e.g., the duck and goose. . Among the gainers were frozen potato products at 5.2% to 2,999,000 tons and frozen fruits at 6.5% to 171,800. Yet bakery products were off 0.3% to 1,201,100.

Germany, where the Deutsches Tiefkuhlinsitut (dti) was the only national industry group to issue a comprehensive report, showed a total consumption of 2,715,385 tons without poultry (compared to 2,566,000 for FTT FTT abbr. failure to thrive FTT Failure to thrive, see there ) and 3,022,365 with poultry. Sweden reported a growth index rather than actual tonnage, but put last year's per capita consumption at 46.7 kg. Chances are that Germany has overtaken the United Kingdom as the largest frozen food market in Europe if poultry is counted. Number three is still France, at 1,553,900 tons excluding poultry. But number four is Spain at 1,204,900 tons, and since Spain has a considerably smaller population it has a higher per capita consumption -36 kg versus 25.8. In terms of value, Food for Thought put the market at 51.109 billion euros without ice cream and 65.917 billion euros with it. But besides ice cream, the most valuable segments were fish and seafood at 11.630 billion euros, up 4.8%; and convenience meats at 9.163 billion, up 2.9%.

The UK, France and Germany combined account for 53% of the Western Europe market, including ice cream, in euro value terms, FFT reported, compared to 52% of the population. The top five, with Spain and Italy Italy (ĭt`əlē), Ital. Italia, officially Italian Republic, republic (2005 est. pop. 58,103,000), 116,303 sq mi (301,225 sq km), S Europe. added, account for 74% of the frozen food sales and 77% of the population. Euro growth since 1999 has been highest in Germany, with an average of 4.95%, followed by Italy at 3.4% and Spain at 2.98%. But factoring in inflation, FFT says, it's a whole different story: leaders in "real" growth are Norway at 5.2%, Sweden at 4.5% and Austria Austria (ô`strēə), Ger. Österreich [eastern march], officially Republic of Austria, federal republic (2005 est. pop. 8,185,000), 32,374 sq mi (83,849 sq km), central Europe. at 3.7%. There's a similar pattern in category segments, FFT found. In current euros, the leaders since 1999 have been fish at 3.28%, ready meals at 2.88% and vegetables at 2.21%. But in constant euros, the relatively small category of fruit has led at 10.6% a year, followed by fish at 2.9% and potato products at 2.3%. Fish, appearing on both lists as well as leading in total euros, bears closer examination. In Germany, the dti showed a tonnage increase of 9.1% to 262,601, while revising its sub-categories from 2003. The largest increases were in raw fillets and fish dishes, but breaded fish also did well. What didn't did·n't Contraction of did not. didn't did not didn't do do well was fish sticks.

All are aquatic invertebrates with shells; they are not fish. , once a separate category, have been lumped in with "other fish and seafood," but probably account for most of that subcategory's 9.1% growth. FFT puts euro value for German fish and seafood at 2.832 billion, up 5.7%. For other major countries, frozen fish and seafood tonnage and value work out as follows: * Spain: 356,000 tons (largest in EU), up 4.1%; 2.227 billion euros, up 7.2%. * UK: 253,700 tons, up 1.0%; 2.257 billion euros, down 0.1%. * France, 177,600 tons, down 0.1%; 1.553 billion euros, up 0.1%. Much of the growth is in smaller countries. In Sweden, frozen fish sales were up four percent to 371 million euros and 4.6% to 57,700 tons. Greece Greece, Gr.

But in some countries, it was all a matter of price. Ireland showed a 21.2% increase in euro volume to 134.3 million, but tonnage was up only 2.7% to 30,900.

Italy reported retail frozen fish and seafood tonnage for 2004 at 81,151, up three percent from 2003. But the gain was all in shellfish and molluscs, up 32.1% to 28,569. Raw fish was down sharply at 29,189, and breaded products barely gained at all. Overall retail consumption in Italy, according to the Istituto Italiano Alementi Surgelati, was 486,851 tons, up 2.8%. But the organization put the increase at 3.1%, and the percentage changes it gives for categories and sub-categories don't jibe with figures in its 2003 report.

This service mark sometimes occurs in lowercase with the meaning "any contest among cooks." products such as bread and pastries are distributed in frozen form to the industrial foodservice trade and the retail/in-store sector as well as to HoReCa (hotels, restaurants and catering), according to BakeMark, a Swedish pioneer in the category that also markets its products in Norway, Denmark and Finland Finland, Finnish Suomi (swô`mē), officially Republic of Finland, republic (2005 est. pop. 5,223,000), 130,119 sq mi (337,009 sq km), N Europe. . Another Swedish company, Vaasan & Vaasan Group, claims to have "a new highly popular home bake-off concept." Home bake-off is said to be extremely successful in Finland, where the "retail bake-off category is the second largest product group within the frozen food department after ice cream."
