Cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts market in Sweden: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Sweden awarded 44 supply contracts for cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts through award notices on TED; the 9 of them that state a value (20.5%) add up to €41 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Sweden imported €1.02 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 0802, 1005, 1001, 0709, 0805 and 10 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 6.7% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 42 companies have won 140 public supply contracts for cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts in Sweden, in 59 award notices from 56 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Sweden.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 50.7% of all awards.
  • 16.9% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Sweden — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €106 billion in 2025, 17.6% 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.
