Africa and the Middle East

Podravka has been present on the markets of Africa and the Middle East for many years. Demand for Podravka products depends largely on the level of intrastate and interstate conflicts of certain areas.

In many African countries, the second largest continent of the world, the best-selling Podravka products are Kviki pretzels, Kviki sticks, Kviki maxi pretzels with sesame, condiments, Talianetta, canned meat, Podravka soups, Lino children's food. As a best-selling Podravka product is Vegeta, especially in countries such as Egypt, Libya, Liberia, and it has been presented on Cameroon market this year as well. Vita soup bricks were available in more countries in the region such as Benin, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Angola and Sierra Leone.

On the Middle East market, the best-selling Podravka products are Vegeta, Vegeta Twist, Podravka soups, Fant, canned meat, condiments, chutney and Lino children's food.

The internal conflicts and civil strifes in Africa resulted with the abolition of export to some countries, the fall in exporting to the less conflicted countries and the attempts to export to new countries.
