Abstract

The imperfections of the agri-food markets have multiple origins, including biological and climatic hazards, uncertainty, adjustment times. The debate on food self-sufficiency is often presented as one in which economic reasoning and political imperatives collide. The impact of food crises leads to the conclusion that ensuring food self-sufficiency remains an important objective of each country's policy. The data analysis covers the period 2010–2019, considering the evolution of the European fruit market and consumption behaviour. The paper analyses the resources available in the fruit sector, identifies the vulnerabilities and risks of fresh and processed fruit production, and proposes solutions to increase the level of ensuring population's food consumption from domestic production.
