In 2023, Germany led European imports of drained, glacé, or crystallized fruits, nuts, and related products, accounting for about 15%. Ireland closely followed with significant growth at 22.33%, showcasing a notable rise in demand. The United Kingdom and France maintained strong positions despite slight declines. Spain experienced a substantial increase of 26.42%, reflecting a positive trend in import activity. Other notable increases occurred in Belgium, Cyprus, and Malta.

The UK’s trend could stabilize amidst Brexit adjustments, while Eastern European countries may present growth opportunities as they integrate further into EU economic structures. Economic conditions and trade agreements will also play pivotal roles in shaping these import dynamics through 2024 and beyond.
