Fruit, vegetables and related products market in Estonia: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts

Estonia imported €140 million of goods in the customs headings matched to fruit, vegetables and related products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 2009, 2008, 2005, 2004, 0811 and 6 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 5.7% from 2023.
- Since November 2023, 81 companies have won 413 public supply contracts for fruit, vegetables and related products in Estonia, in 138 award notices from 41 public buyers.
- 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Estonia.

In proportion
All public purchasing in Estonia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €6.43 billion in 2025, 15.4% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
