Record high temperatures have been set around the world this July. Across the northern hemisphere in particular, heat waves have raised climate concerns and, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO), 2018 has been the hottest La Niña year (usually associated with cooling) on record.

今年7月，全球氣溫創下歷史新高。尤其是整個北半球，熱浪引發了人們對氣候的擔憂，並且，據世界氣象組織(WMO)稱，2018年是有記錄以來最熱的拉尼娜(通常與降溫有關)年。

​

Rising temperatures also see people look for ways to cool down. One remedy to deal with the heat is ice cream.

氣溫上升也促使人們尋找降溫的方法。對付炎熱的一種方法是吃冰淇淋。

​

But which countries are the main suppliers of this frozen treat? According to ITC’s Trade Map, France, Germany and Belgium are the world’s top exporters of ice cream. Combined their exports totalled $1.3 billion in 2017, accounting for a quarter of global exports. The outlook for future export growth of ice cream from the three countries is looking sweet, too. According to ITC’s Export Potential Map, Belgium, France and Germany could export an additional $1.1 billion worth of ice cream by targeting markets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia in the coming years.

但哪些國家是這種冷凍食品的主要供應國？根據ITC的貿易地圖，法國、德國和比利時是世界上最大的冰淇淋出口國。2017年，它們的出口總額為13億美元，佔全球出口總額的四分之一。這三個國家未來的冰淇淋出口增長前景也很樂觀。根據ITC的出口潛力地圖，未來幾年，比利時、法國和德國可能通過瞄準歐洲、中東和亞洲市場，再出口價值11億美元的冰淇淋。

​

Achieving this means having continued access to key ingredients. For example vanilla.

要做到這一點，就意味著要繼續使用關鍵的配料。比如香草。

​

Ice-cream producers in Belgium, France and Germany source the majority of their vanilla from Madagascar. In 2017, world trade in vanilla totalled $1.2 billion, and Madagascar alone contributes to more than half of it. Madagascar could look at strengthening further its position as the world’s No 1 vanilla exporter: ITC’s Export Potential Map suggests that it could add another $257m worth of vanilla exports by 2021.

比利時、法國和德國的冰淇淋生產商主要從馬達加斯加進口香草。2017年，全球香草貿易總額為12億美元，其中馬達加斯加貢獻了一半以上。馬達加斯加可能考慮進一步加強其作為世界第一香草出口國的地位：ITC的出口潛力地圖顯示，到2021年，它可能會再增加價值2.57億美元的香草出口。
