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，全球气温创下历史新高。尤其是整个北半球，热浪引发了人们对气候的担忧，并且，据世界气象组织(WMO)称，2018年是有记录以来最热的拉尼娜(通常与降温有关)年。

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

气温上升也促使人们寻找降温的方法。对付炎热的一种方法是吃冰淇淋。

​

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.

但哪些国家是这种冷冻食品的主要供应国？根据ITC的贸易地图，法国、德国和比利时是世界上最大的冰淇淋出口国。2017年，它们的出口总额为13亿美元，占全球出口总额的四分之一。这三个国家未来的冰淇淋出口增长前景也很乐观。根据ITC的出口潜力地图，未来几年，比利时、法国和德国可能通过瞄准欧洲、中东和亚洲市场，再出口价值11亿美元的冰淇淋。

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

要做到这一点，就意味着要继续使用关键的配料。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.

比利时、法国和德国的冰淇淋生产商主要从马达加斯加进口香草。2017年，全球香草贸易总额为12亿美元，其中马达加斯加贡献了一半以上。马达加斯加可能考虑进一步加强其作为世界第一香草出口国的地位：ITC的出口潜力地图显示，到2021年，它可能会再增加价值2.57亿美元的香草出口。
