The demand for non-European tomatoes has dramatically increased in 2007, growing from 250,000 to more than 330,000 metric tonnes in one year only.
In 2007, close to 90% of all imported tomatoes were supplied by Morocco, followed by Israel (7%) and Senegal (2%).
Tomato imports are counter-seasonal, meaning that shipments from abroad enter the EU market when the European production is non-existent. During the last 36 months, we can observe that imports usually take place between October and May, and that the peak period is in January/February.
In 2007, more than 80% of all tomato imports entered the EU-15 territories through France, while 8% of shipments passed through Spain.
