Germany: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Germany is home to more than 83 million of the world’s wealthiest consumers and is by far the largest market in the European Union. The German market offers good opportunities for U.S. exporters of consumer-oriented agricultural products. In 2019, total U.S. exports of agricultural and related products to Germany reached USD 1.9 billion. The largest segments were soybeans, tree nuts, fish products, wine, beef, condiments, and other consumer-oriented products. This report provides U.S. food and agriculture exporters with background information and suggestions for entering the German market. The COVID-19 related lock-down and physical distancing measures heavily impacted the German food sector. Effects will be visible in next year’s report when the data from 2020 is evaluated.
