The distribution sector in Spain is very different from what happens in the rest of the European Union where large chains control over 90% of agri-food. Aldi, Socomo (subsidiary purchases of fruit and vegetables Carrefour), Lidl, Auchan-Alcampo, Edeka in Germany and Tesco in the United Kingdom are some of the owners of the distribution of the fresh in Europe, as is Mercadona in Spain, although not in the same proportion because the distribution is much more balanced than in the rest of European markets.
