Germany resists
Germany's economy slowed in 2022, but managed to grow 1.9% faster than expected, and in energy it has done its homework with gas reserves exceeding 90%.
The German economy has been resilient in this 'war and saving economy' in the war year.
This resilience has been palpable in the Germans' 'war economy and thrift' in this war year, which has seen German inflation soar to 1949 levels.
The average German has been on the back foot for the last two years.
The average German has changed his buying habits when it comes to fruit and vegetables. Their greater concern for price has even penalised some of the organic categories on the shelves, which have been replaced by conventional produce and not precisely the same product. All for the sake of saving money in the home.
"Fruit Today" magazine is a valuable source of information for the fresh produce industry. Its aim is to connect fruit producers from Southern Europe with European import and distribution channels. The articles cover the entire value chain of the fruit and vegetable trade, as well as companies operating in the industry. The magazine has a yearly print run of 5,000 copies, distributed in countries such as Spain, Germany, the UK, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Eastern Europe, Chile, and Peru. It is distributed through both direct subscriptions and free distribution at major European trade fairs.
