In 2022, all the companies in Mercabarna's fruit and vegetable sector sold 2,245,045 tons of fruits and vegetables. This represents an 11% increase in sales volume over 2021 and a 3% increase over 2019, before the pandemic.
Despite high inflation and a recession in domestic consumption, Mercabana's fruit and vegetable wholesalers achieved the highest sales figure so far. This increase is mainly due to the increase in exports - which already account for 35% of the total traded - and to the recovery of tourism.
In 2022, fruit and vegetable companies located in Mercabarna exported 785,765 tons of fruit and vegetables.
