Raspberries are at the top of the export ranking, in terms of value.
There are uncertainties about the future of agri-food exports in the Huelva region, which exports a large part of its products to the United Kingdom.
Huelva leads the Spanish regions in terms of sales volume in the United Kingdom. In 2016 Huelva exported to the United Kingdom for more than 311 million euros, accounting for a share of about 25.64% of its total exports.
Exports included raspberries (€ 114 million), peppers (€ 95 million), tomatoes (€ 73 million), olive oil (€ 57 million), cucumbers (€ 55 million) and blueberries (€ 45 million).
Despite these good results, industry professionals remain vigilant about the negative consequences of Brexit. The Government of Andalusia has launched a working group, with the collaboration of various ministries, to find measures to limit the negative impacts.
