In Slovenia, the majority of food is estimated to be imported. Before 2004, less than half of all available food came from abroad, but both food imports and exports increased significantly after Slovenia’s accession to the EU. The share of imported food has since continued to grow, and after 2020, less than one-fifth of the available food was of domestic origin. Most of the food Slovenia imports comes from European Union Member States, with about 60% originating from neighbouring countries (Austria, Croatia, Italy, and Hungary).
