Germany has a market of about 82 million consumers and the 5th largest economy in the world. Germany is the largest food importer in the world. Germany is the largest organic market in Europe. The top ten Canadian consumer products shipped in 2005 were wild blue berries, hatching eggs, maple syrup, bison cuts, pet food, bottled rye, fruits and nuts, dairy products, sugars and sugar confectionary, beverages, and spirits and vinegar. German consumers don't know much about Canada but have a favourable perception of the country. Canada is viewed as having safer, healthier, and better food offerings than the United States. Germans see Canada as being stable and environmentally clean and an excellent secondary source of food imports. Younger, more innovative consumers favour Canadian products, as they reflect a more western way of life. Best prospects for Canadian suppliers include organic products, health foods and beverages, snack foods, fruit juices, alcoholic beverages, ethnic cuisines, and dairy products.
