You must have a datalist somewhere that establishes the relationship between
Holland and Red Pepper, and Greece and Onions & Tomatoes.

Depending on the configuration of this "relationship" list, you can use
either Vlookup() or an Index() and Match() combination.

If you want help, you must post where and how this list is set-up.

Enter this formula in D1 of Sheet1:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$5,2,0))

And copy down as needed.

If the formula doesn't find a match on Sheet2, it'll return a blank cell.
