What the source says
It produced 2.4 million tonnes of cheese (about 23% of the EU total), the other main cheese producing EU countries being France (1.9 million tonnes, about 18% of the EU total), and Italy (1.4 million tonnes, about 13% of the EU total).
Checked: the figure 1.9 million tonnes is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
