The Kenyan crisis

The European counter-season green bean market has tended to shrink in the past few years. Approaching 200 000 t in 2008, by 2012 imports amounted to just 172 000 t. This fall is primarily due to the slump in exports from Morocco, the leading supplier to the European market: 95 700 t in 2012 as opposed to 122 400 t in 2008. Kenya is in second position, with exports fairly stable over the last five years (from 35 000 to 38 000 t per year). Egypt completes the leading trio, with exports to Europe of around 22 000 to 27 000 t per year. These three sources alone supply 90 % of total European imports.
