Exporting canned fruits and vegetables to Europe

Europe is the largest market for canned fruits and vegetables in the world, representing more than 40% of the total world imports. Import volumes are stable for European types of canned fruits and vegetables, but the import of tropical and exotic canned fruits and vegetables is increasing. Large importing countries that at the same time are also considerable markets, such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, offer the best opportunities for exporters from developing countries. Competition mainly comes from other European countries, but supplies from China and Turkey have also grown into considerable trade volumes in the past decade. Specialised importers are the best at helping you find the best way to enter the European market.
