As Spain is a large producer and exporter, imports of fresh fruit and vegetables are relatively low. However, a large and growing group of immigrants stimulates the demand for exotic products from their home countries. Import figures confirm this, as imports from developing countries grew faster than the average EU import growth, especially for fresh vegetables.
This market survey covers the Spanish market for fresh fruit and vegetables.
