The apple of their eye

Fresh fruit is very popular among German consumers. Some of it is grown on home soil, and some is imported. The leading supplier countries in this case are Italy and Spain, both enjoying warm weather on a longer yearly basis than Germany and therefore being in the position to cover fruit cravings during colder German seasons.
