Europeans love garlic. Europe is a major market for dried garlic from developing countries. Consumers and food manufacturers use large amounts of dried garlic in a wide variety of products, besides the typical spice grinders, while production of dried garlic in Europe is very small. This makes dried garlic buyers look for supplies from outside Europe and creates plenty of opportunities for you as a supplier. China will be your main competitor, as it dominates dried garlic supplies. This study will help you find ways to differentiate your offer from that of the Chinese suppliers.

Europe is a growing market for cardamom exporters. Increasing demand is fuelled by consumer appetites for exotic flavours and cuisines. Guatemala and India are the main suppliers of whole and crushed/ground cardamom to Europe and will be key competitors for new entrants. Suppliers from other countries may benefit from buyer demand for cardamom from unique origins and sustainably produced cardamom. Niche markets for high-quality and certified cardamom can also offer interesting export opportunities.

Europe is one of the largest global markets for pickles, especially fermented cucumbers. This is primarily because of its long tradition of consuming pickled cucumbers.

In terms of health benefits, they contain antioxidants, probiotic organisms and minerals that protect against free radicals. Pickles are also a cost-effective choice for various cuisines.
