“conservative” and loyal to familiar brands An estimated 60% of Germanconsumers are willing to buy the same brand repeatedly (Santandertrade, 2021).Therefore, Germans often prefer to use European Union (EU) products, nationaland local products However, in recent times, German consumers have also becomemore open to international goods
For agricultural products, although accounting for a small proportion of totalimport turnover, Germany is still the EU country that imports the most fresh andprocessed vegetables and fruits (US$23.1 billion), tea and coffee coffee - spice.Flavors ($4 billion) processed seafood ($1.65 billion), honey ($274 million (according to Trademap ITC data in 2020)
