Your Gateway to Global Natural Products Trade

The EU's largest importer of natural products. Strong demand for organic dried fruit, essential oils, and botanical extracts with stringent BfR and LFGB compliance requirements.

A food and ingredients market undergoing structured alignment with EU standards through the Association Agreement. Rebuilding demand for dried herbs, essential oils, and botanical extracts as the domestic food-processing sector modernizes.

The world's third-largest olive oil importer, with growing B2B demand for dried fruit, tea, and essential oils. Import flows are governed by MAPA and ANVISA under the Mercosur trade framework.

One of the EU's largest hazelnut-processing and olive-oil-blending hubs. Italy is both a direct consumer market and an importer feeding its own food industry (chocolate/confectionery, olive oil, pasta); it is almost entirely import-dependent for red lentils.

A regional re-export gateway: selling into the UAE means reaching a distribution network that extends to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Libya. Turkey already supplies 94.9% of UAE's food-preparation (drink-powder base) imports, while its tea category share sits at just 0.6% — a wide open gap.

One of Turkey's largest food export markets. Strong demand for dried apricots, Turkish delight, and hazelnuts; FDA registration and the 10% baseline tariff are two key factors to build into landed-cost planning.

The world's number-one dried fig importer and one of Europe's largest buyers of Turkish essential oils. Imports are governed by EU food law enforced by the DGCCRF, with cosmetic-grade oils falling under Regulation 1223/2009.

Europe's trade hub and re-export gateway: 80% of Dutch dried fig imports come from Türkiye, and Rotterdam distributes Turkish nuts, dried fruit and pasta onward to Germany and Belgium. NVWA enforces EU food law at the border.

Europe's largest dried fruit consumer, importing around 3 million tonnes of processed fruit, vegetables and nuts (€6 billion) in 2024, with an independent post-Brexit tariff regime and a free trade agreement with Türkiye. Turkish edible fruit and nut exports to the UK reached $286.7 million in 2024.

The number-one destination for Turkish virgin olive oil, importing bulk oil to cover its own supply gap, and a top-five market for Turkish hazelnuts. Spain imported 1.6 million tonnes (€4.5 billion) of processed fruit, vegetables and nuts in 2024.
