With the improvement of people's living standards, canned vegetables have gradually won the favor of residents in developed countries. Sweden, as one of the developed countries in the world, can only grow short-growing potatoes, peas, beans, carrots, cucumbers and beets because of its cold climate conditions. As a result, only a few varieties of canned vegetables, such as selected cucumbers and beetroots, are grown and supplied by Sweden, while others are more dependent on imports.

Vegetable canned products must enter the Swedish market and must comply with the relevant provisions of Sweden. After Sweden joined the European Union in 1995, the European Union's rules on food labeling (including canned vegetables), nutritional information, additives and food quality control also apply to Sweden. Meanwhile, the relevant provisions of Sweden continue to be effective during the transitional period. The National Food Adminis - tration (NFA) of Sweden has a regulatory role in imported food and is responsible for the quality of food imported from countries outside the European Union. Therefore, before signing a purchase contract, Swedish food importers are required to ensure that the quality of the goods meet the requirements of the NFA.

According to the regulations, Swedish imported food packaging must meet the requirements of the European Union, used in retail packaging, must be marked with ingredients, weight, origin, whether containing additives, colorants and foreign substances. Any food packaging used for retail sale in the Swedish market must not only meet the special requirements of the importer (e.g. package type, size, design pattern and label text), but also meet the following requirements: Swedish labels; edible period; storage instructions; weight-sorted ingredient list; net weight or net content; production or label text The name and address of the packing plant.

In addition, Sweden has also formulated special standards and regulations for the importation of bulk goods and raw materials from the catering services and food processing industries.

Although there are few canned vegetables exported to Sweden at present, with the implementation of the diversification strategy of the export market, the development potential of the canned vegetables market in Sweden should arouse the concern of Chinese enterprises. Our country vegetable canned products should enter the Swedish market, first, to improve the quality, create a brand, rely on good product quality, eliminate the Swedish residents'concerns about the quality of canned vegetables; second, to improve credibility, timely delivery, to meet the seasonal requirements of the market for canned vegetables; third, to constantly expand channels, with importers, importers, and so on. Agents and canned vegetable processing enterprises have been in extensive contact with each other to expand the export business of canned vegetables through various channels.
