The market for dried fruit in the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany and France (ODNRI Bulletin No. 34)

摘要

This study forms part of a series examining the prospects for selected commodities including those of developing countries in major world markets. The immediate objectives of this report are to assess the present and longer term prospects in the United Kingdom, France and West Germany for selected tropical and temperate fruits in their dried form and to provide existing and potential suppliers with information on various aspects of marketing including product forms, their uses and quality, external trade, trade and distribution structure, prices, tariffs and consumption levels. The three countries were selected because of their importance in the trade. The trade statistics used cover the period 1982 to 1987. Initial fieldwork was carried out between 1983 and 1985; further trade views were subsequently obtained for the United Kingdom. The tariff rates quoted in the report apply specifically to products imported into the United Kingdom, but are similar in other EC countries including France and West Germany.
