Jumpstart Your Product Export Sales to Europe

The European Union (EU) is the world’s largest import market for agricultural commodities. Despite potential barriers such as tariffs, food and feed labeling and traceability regulations, GMO regulations, and competition from regional suppliers, U.S. agricultural products are attractive due to their quality and reliability.

Southern Europe in particular offers significant market opportunities for exporters of U.S. agricultural products due to the region’s large livestock sector, demand for protein-rich feed, and a preference for sustainably produced products.
