EU has very protective market when it comes to food. Israel has probably resources for compliance with all the regulations. But there is big motivation to stop cheap imports from Africa.
In 2019 EU imported 11.3 billion eur worth of food from Africa, mostly tobacco, cocoa beans etc.. Citrus was only 0.5 billion eur. In overall EU food imports it is only 10%. We also exported 9 billion worth of food to Africa.
Hardly enourmous, given Africa agricultural potential and production.
The thin skinned ones I know about are much more fragile, but also much more tastier (creamy). Nowadays I can only find thick skinned ones at store though, and you gotta be careful picking the ripe one when it is due which is hard to plan.

Food safety is an issue for meat, but Europe imports enormous quantities of fruit and vegetables from Africa (including avocados).
