Eurostat data shows that in 2018, imports of frozen strawberries to the EU increased by 31% to a record level of 159,000 tons. The main reason for this was the increase in the supply from Morocco and Egypt (by 35% and 72%, respectively, to 60.3 thousand tons and 62.0 thousand tons), according to information from Agro Nawigator Bank PKO BP.
The high growth rate of imports of frozen strawberries from countries in North Africa (+63%) happened despite the recorded slowdown in the demand in the EU.
