Exports of Greek and investments in the domestic fisheries sector rose by 97 million euros in 2018, the annual report of 2019 cited on Tuesday, according to ANA.
The Federation of Greek Maricultures (FGMC) said that sales of bream and sea bass, in particular, reached 106,500 tons at a value of 502 million euros in 2018, a rise in the volume of sales but without a rise in revenues, because of pricing pressures on both types of fish.
Of all 2018 sales, 79 pct (87.1 tons, valued at nearly 400 million euros) were distributed abroad and the rest went to the domestic Greek market. France, Italy, and Spain have traditionally absorbed the majority of Greek production (59 pct in 2018). At the same time, there has been a rise in Turkish fish sold to EU countries via distribution networks developed in Greece.
