The import volume of provisionally preserved fruits and nuts to Germany showed a general upward trend from 2013 to 2023, rising from 5.84 million kilograms in 2013 to 9.46 million kilograms in 2023. The year-on-year variation reflected notable fluctuations: significant increases in 2016 (15.36%), 2017 (15.37%), and 2019 (10.12%), and notable declines in 2020 (-11.07%) and 2021 (-5.79%). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years (2019-2023) was 2.81%.
