Summary

The southward enlargement of the European Community (EC) is causing considerable concern among agricultural policymakers inside and outside the EC and especially within the fruit and vegetable subsector. This is due to the entry of Greece, Portugal and Spain into the EC and the expected stimulation of their fruit and vegetable production and a resulting decline of horticultural prices on international markets. The new member states may expand their market shares at the expense of other countries, mainly those in the Mediterranean basin. This study attempts to quantify the prospective effects of EC enlargement, with special emphasis on the diversity and seasonality of fruits and vegetables. The results should reduce uncertainty among suppliers about long-term price expectations for Mediterranean products. The study is also intended to assist policymakers inside and outside the EC in planning future production strategies and policies and to help provide a source of unbiased economic information for the trade negotiations that will follow the southward expansion of the EC.
