Exporting fresh lemons to Europe

Exporting lemons to Europe requires a lot of hard work and knowledge. To help you prepare CBI provides a Market Potential study with a list of European countries that offer the most opportunities for export of lemons and it describes the trends that offer new opportunities. The Market Entry study on this page contains information about buyer requirements and certifications, main market segments and distribution channels as well as information about the competition. 

The demand for lemons is slowly growing but remains for a large part inelastic. This means it is a difficult market to regulate and surplus production cannot be easily pushed onto the market of lemons. Lemons are a typical fruit with market fluctuations. Therefore, as a lemon exporter you must expect high peaks and lows. Your biggest opportunity is when Spanish supply of lemons is low.
