Exporting canned fruits and vegetables to Europe
Europe is the largest market for canned fruits and vegetables, representing more than 44% of total world imports in terms of value. Import volumes are on the increase for many types of canned fruits and vegetables. Large importing countries, particularly Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain, offer the best opportunities for exporters from developing countries. Competition mainly comes from other European countries, but developing countries like China and Turkey are also making their presence felt.
