Lithuania - Market Overview

Canadian exports of agrifood products to Baltic states like Lithuania are modest – most Lithuanians either make food locally or import from Scandinavian countries. However, the Baltics are going through a period of rapid change affecting both food production and distribution mechanisms, as well as consumer tastes. A rising interest in convenience, health, and foreign foods, in particular, opens up opportunities for Canadian exporters. On the side of exports, Lithuania’s food production sector is also changing quickly, and there is a growing orientation towards producing convenient, environmentally- and health-friendly food products.

Although the Baltics region has a relatively small environmental technologies sector, it is growing steadily. With existing investment from other Nordic countries, Canadian investment could further bolster the growing clean technology sector in Lithuania.
