The volume of fresh produce exported from this southern European country increased by 26 percent over the past three years, from 780 million Euros in 2010 to 983 million Euros in 2013. These figures published by Portugal Fresh, the trade association of fruit, vegetable and flower exporters, illustrate that the country is gaining global market shares with high-quality products sold at competitive prices.
