Exporting strawberries to Europe

You need to pay a lot of attention to quality and planning when exporting strawberries to Europe. To help you do this, the CBI provides information about the opportunities and requirements in the European strawberry market. This information is broken up into information about demand in the most promising markets, trends that offer opportunities, competition and the quality standards and certifications required to supply European clients.

Strawberries are the most popular soft summer fruit in Europe. Most countries in Europe produce them. The different varieties and greenhouse technology extend the growing season, making Europe almost fully self-sufficient. As such, the best opportunities for exporting to Europe can be found outside the European production season. As a supplier, you should focus on strawberry varieties that are superior in flavour and rich in colour.
