Spain: Retail Foods Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In Calendar Year (CY) 2014, Spain imported $2.2 billion of agricultural, fish and forest products from the United States, up almost 11 percent compared to the previous year and highest import figure on record. In 2015, Spain shows signs of real improvement in its economic situation. The country is slowly finally coming out of the economic crisis that affected its financial system and consumer income and behavior. Spain is expected to continue to show positive signs of recovery during 2015 and 2016. This situation will likely be reflected in consumers gradually increasing their expenditure again, so opportunities will continue to arise for U.S. exporters.
