Tridge summary

Spanish fruit and vegetable exports to the US and EU saw a decrease in 2023, with the US market experiencing an 18% drop and the EU market a 13% decrease compared to the previous year. Despite garlic being the most exported product to the US and kiwifruit to the EU, the volume of exports remains low due to the complex and time-consuming process of obtaining US phytosanitary protocol approval for each product, a hurdle that other EU producer countries also face. This has relegated Spain to the 20th spot in the US market for fruit and vegetable exports.
