Exporting plums 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 plums 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. 

Stone fruit is a large segment in the fresh fruit trade, but even more so in local production. You will find a large number of varieties and an even larger number of growers.
