■ PORT OF TASTE
Delicacies to and
from the entire world
Without the worldwide trade in foodstuffs, German breakfast would be somewhat scrubbier, Steaming coffee, cocoa, tea, a glass of freshly pressed orange juice, bananas with muesli, and much else are products and foodstuffs that cannot be produced or grown in Germany. As a world export champion, Germany is also strong on the food front. Along with meat and dairy products, German beer is in heavy demand in other countries for its high quality and the reliability of the producers. Here in this country, wine from others also enlarges the choice. Confectionery is amongst the strongest export sectors, while on the import side, coffee and fruit from distant countries top the hit list. Our table shows a selection of the most eagerly sought imported and exported luxury produce.
