 Why Eastern Europe?

  • Large Consumer Base. With over 111 million consumers sharing similar habits and preferences, Eastern Europe forms a substantial trade zone, either within the EU or through the FTA with Ukraine.
  • Distinct Consumer Profile. The region boasts a unique consumer demographic within Europe, characterized by mature individuals who are open to experimentation and eager to embrace innovations, new tastes, flavors, and experiences.
  • Robust Economic Growth. Eastern Europe often outpaces advanced EU markets in economic growth. For instance, Poland and Romania are expected to achieve real GDP growth rates of 3.5-3.6% in 2025, compared to the projected 1.5% for older EU member states.
  • Strategic Trade Location. Positioned to facilitate trade between East and West, North and South, the region benefits from an almost free trade zone, well-developed road infrastructure, strong commercial connections, and extensive airport logistics.
  • Growing Import Market. There has been a 28% increase in spending on fruit and vegetable imports in Eastern Europe from 2019 to 2023, now totaling $10 billion. Eastern Europe is among global import leaders in citrus, grape, watermelon, and other segments.
  • Reverse Trade Opportunities. The region boasts significant opportunities for establishing bilateral and multilateral trade routes, including reverse imports of apples, pears, nuts, and various other categories.

The training is organized by FAO/EBRD Project: Food Security Package SEMED – Diversifying and adding value to export markets.
