Europe Produce Inbound Trade Mission To North Carolina and Florida

Europe has a large and mature market for fresh fruit and vegetables, with stable demand overall. The need for year-round availability and the interest in new exotic produce maintain Europe’s continuous dependence on external suppliers. With a population of more than 500 million consumers, Europe is responsible for 45% of the global trade value of fresh fruit and vegetables. Five of the global top 10 importing countries are in Europe. Buyers are always interested in new sources. The increased popularity of health, natural, as well as organic products, is a trend that offers opportunities for fresh fruit and vegetables in Europe.

This inbound trade mission creates opportunities for SUSTA companies to meet with European buyers here in the US to show them producing facilities, varieties, testing, packaging, etc. to inform buyers of the wide variety of fresh produce the southern region has to offer.
