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

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Slovenia awarded 138 supply contracts for cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts through award notices on TED; the 61 of them that state a value (44.2%) add up to €3.33 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Slovenia imported €641 million 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), down 14.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 58 companies have won 567 public supply contracts for cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and nuts in Slovenia, in 129 award notices from 91 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Slovenia.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 55.4% of all awards.
  • 12.9% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Slovenia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €10.9 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.

How we count: one award per procedure, lot and winning company, from live contract award notices; a joint procurement counts on every buyer's market. Values are the awarded amounts published in the notice (framework ceilings and estimates are never added), converted to euro at the ECB yearly average. Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
