The article, featuring insights from Katerina Zvereva of East-Fruit.com during the Eastern European Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables online conference, provides an in-depth analysis of the global trade dynamics of fruits and vegetables. It highlights that fruits dominate global trade, while vegetables are primarily consumed locally. The article identifies tomato, pepper, and frozen vegetables as the leading vegetables in trade, with a notable increase in the trade of these products over the past five years, particularly due to the shift towards more valuable varieties and the convenience of frozen vegetables for the HoReCa segment. Additionally, the article discusses the rising trade of leafy greens and asparagus, the decline in global garlic market due to low prices in China, and the significant growth in trade of kohlrabi, kale, leeks, celery, and artichokes, driven by their health benefits and the trend towards healthy lifestyles and quality nutrition.
