Exporting table olives to Europe

The demand for table olives in Europe is growing. A Mediterranean diet, a healthy lifestyle and the search for new flavours are the main drivers behind their increased consumption. Opportunities for new suppliers from developing countries can be found in large European markets such as Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Romania and Belgium. New suppliers must be able to compete with internal European competitors Spain and Greece, but also with emerging suppliers from Morocco, Egypt and Albania.
