Spain and China have recently established phytosanitary protocols, enabling the export of almonds and persimmons to China. This agreement, signed during Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's visit to Beijing, is expected to significantly boost almond exports, with an estimated 50,000 tons expected to be exported by 2025, representing over 40% of Spain's production. The deal is set to particularly benefit producers in Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, the Valencian Community, and Murcia. Additionally, negotiations for the export of fresh Spanish persimmons to China began in 2016, showcasing Spain's efforts to expand its agri-food export portfolio to non-EU countries, including China, where there is growing demand for these products.
