Notes About the Production and Supply-Demand of Fruit and Vegetables in the Countries of the European Union

This study analyses the international fruit and vegetables trade, especially concentrating on the European Union. We will start with a rough description of the framework of growing, importing and exporting countries. Afterwards, we will take a closer look at the situation of these countries in order to identify suppliers and buyers. The most important conclusion to be drawn is that there is a strong concentration of commerce in areas with higher purchasing power, as a result of which the competition will increase and the traditional markets may be saturated.
