Lithuania: Exporter Guide Annual

Lithuania is the largest market for food and beverage products within the three Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia). With a population of 2.9 million people and a high GDP per capita, Lithuania is a growing market for U.S. food and agricultural products. Lithuania offers an ideal location for imports destined to all three Baltic States, serving a joint population of 6 million customers. The Russia-Ukraine war, which started in February 2022, sent shock waves through the Lithuanian economy, disrupting trade and contributing to sharp increases in energy, fuel, and food prices. These factors continued to affect Lithuania’s economy throughout 2024. Lithuania’s total 2024 imports of food, agricultural, and related products were valued at over $6 billion, with U.S. imports accounting for a record $111 million. U.S. products with strong sales potential include fish and seafood, tree nuts, distilled spirits, dried fruit, and innovative food ingredients.
