    Europe and Latin America seeking the way to increase the horticultural trade

    Fruit and vegetable trade between Europe and Latin America are today very small compared to the overall trade between the two regions. The traffic of these products does not reach even 1% of purchases from, for example, Mexico and the European Union. In the case of Chile, it stays at 7.5%. However, the increase in income from Latin American countries and the planned improvements in the free trade agreements portend an increase in trade of fruits and vegetables on both sides of the Atlantic. Brazil is emerging as one of the most promising markets receptors. In 2014, Spanish exports to this country grew 25% in 2014.
