For the UK context, in 2024 we produced 821,000 tonnes in 2024 With a population estimate of 69,281,437 is 11.8KG/person.

Which is a lot lower than I expected, honestly.

~227g a week per person.

Even if we consider the lactose intolerant and those who don't like cheese, that's a pretty tough ration.

British cheesemaking all but died off when government cheddar was introduced in WW2.
