The European fruit and vegetable processing sector shows varied employment distribution led by Spain at 13.77%, followed closely by Poland, Italy, and Germany. The UK and France also contribute significantly but with a declining trend in employment. The sector in Greece and Serbia is becoming increasingly significant, with noticeable year-on-year growth. Conversely, countries like Bulgaria and Ireland show a downturn in employment numbers.
Future trends suggest a continued rise in employment in emerging market players like Serbia and Croatia, driven by increased demand and production capabilities. Vigilance on economic and political factors in larger markets such as the UK and France could further impact employment dynamics.
