In 2025, worldwide exports of figs from all countries were worth a total US$1 billion.

Overall sales of exported figs increased by an average 27.7% from 5 years earlier in 2021 when globally exported figs sales totaled $785 million.

Year over year, the dollar value of exported figs accelerated by 10.5% compared to $907.3 million starting from 2024.

Figs are edible fruits from small flowering trees with white bark. While figs are eaten fresh or dried, they are also processed into jams, biscuits, rolls and other types of desserts.

The 5 biggest exporters of figs (Türkiye, Afghanistan, Spain, Iran and the United Arab Emirates) generated over three-quarters (75.7%) of all international figs sold during 2025.

Applying a continental lens, countries in Asia sold the highest dollar worth of exported figs during 2025 with shipments valued at $748.9 million or 74.7% of the global total. In second place were exporters located in Europe (20.9%). Smaller international sales of figs originated from sellers in Latin America (2.1%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean, North America (1.7%), Africa (0.7%) and Oceania (0.03%) led by Australia and New Zealand.

Shifting our focus to fig imports, the 5 leading importers of figs in 2025 are India, United States of America, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Combined, that quintet of top import countries bought over half (51.1%) of globally imported figs.

Those percentages suggest a more concentrated cohort of 90 total figs exporters (75.7% for corresponding top 5 exporters) compared to 170 buying countries, islands and territories with the top 5 importers consuming over half (51.1%).

Of the global imports total, 49% of figs was delivered to European countries ahead of importers in Asia (35%), North America (13.5%), Oceania (1.3%) mostly Australia plus New Zealand, Africa (1%) then Latin America (0.3%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean.

We calculated the worldwide average unit price paid by figs importers to be $4,919 per ton in 2025. That dollar amount reflects 19.2% in inflation compared to the average tonnage rate of $4,128 for 2024.
