Exporting dried pineapple to Europe

Demand for dried pineapple in Europe is currently affected by conflicting trends. Healthy snacking is helping to drive sales, while slow economic growth is negatively affecting consumer mood with respect to pricier products. Opportunities for new developing country suppliers can be found in large importing, processing and consuming countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom. A competitive advantage for emerging suppliers can be gained by offering lower-priced, quality products that stand out in terms of sustainability profile or other traits.
