The export of dried figs from the Netherlands to France witnessed significant fluctuations over the past years. In 2013, the value peaked, then dramatically dropped by 87.1% in 2014, and further declined in 2015. However, from 2016, there was a notable recovery with a strong growth of 95.5% in 2017 and 86.2% in 2018. Post-2018, the trend was more volatile but generally upward, culminating in a modest 3.2% increase in 2023.
