If anything characterizes Almeria horticulture is to cultivate and provide product to markets where practically no-one can do it. In such a way that, according to data provided by the Fruit and Vegetable Interprofessional of Andalucía (HORTYFRUTA), during the winter period many vegetables in the province reach significant market shares in Europe, in some cases even above 90%.
Thus, according to figures provided by HORTYFRUTA, only during the month of January 2013, the peppers from Almeria achieved a market share of 90% in Europe. Similar cases are the cucumber, that also in January achieved a market share of 90% in Europe, and eggplant, which reached 95%.
