SUMMARY

4

Consumers demand for variety, quality and convenience in the food they consume, led to the idea of food products imports. Seasonal and climatic factor differences drive the core of importing food items from elsewhere. Also, to meet the difference in production and demand one needed to have external support. With increasing per capita income and standard of living, demand for seasonal food and better variety popped up. New taste for processed foods also finds its place in the segment. The major product categories of the industry are Fruit Juices & Beverages, Bakery & Confectionary, Cooking Oils & fats and Cereals. Figure 1 shows global import of food products from 2011 to 2015.

Europe has been a net importer of food products, but emergence of strong local food items made itself-reliant. This is evident in sharp reduction in its 2013 imports of food products and an increase in its exports. Europe region’s average import growth rate has been more than that of the world.

Europe region’s import of food products have been decreasing gradually since 2013. Thereby leading to CAGR of 2% in the last five years as shown in figure 1. Over this period, imports of all Europe sub region has declined. Western Europe was the largest importer of food products having a share of more than 50% in the total imports of 2015.
