Exporting dried figs to Europe

Dried figs have a fixed place in European diets as snacks and ingredients. The market depends on imports. This opens doors for suppliers from developing countries. France and Germany are the largest destinations, supported by well-developed trade hubs. Food safety and certification are key to meeting strict buyer expectations. Niche markets such as organic, vegan and Fair Trade create added potential for exporters. Türkiye sets prices, but climate risks mean there is room for other origins. Exporters that ensure safety, quality and certification can reach high-value retail and industry channels.
