Candy Supplier Slovenia
Slovenia is small — 2.1 million people — but among the wealthiest per-capita economies to emerge from the former Yugoslavia, with grocery retail led by Mercator, Spar, and Lidl. The port of Koper is one of the Adriatic's busiest container ports, serving not just Slovenia but onward freight into Austria, Hungary, and southern Germany. As an EU member, Slovenia is intra-community supply — no customs, no import duty.
