It's a crucial category for the global food industry, allowing for the trade of a wide variety of frozen fruits used in manufacturing, food service, and retail. Importers are typically food processors, bakeries, and supermarkets in developed economies seeking diverse ingredients or year-round availability of seasonal fruits, such as the EU, USA, and Japan. Exporters are often agricultural nations with surplus fruit production and freezing capabilities, spanning various regions globally. Key considerations include maintaining the cold chain, ensuring product quality, and navigating diverse food safety and import regulations. This code facilitates the global distribution of many less common or specialty frozen fruits, supporting a broad spectrum of food applications.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
