Enterprise Greece, the national trade, and investment agency of the Greek state, is the subject of an extensive article on the website of Total Food Service.
The piece begins by declaring, “Greece is a story of transformation. The country has undergone a profound economic transformation over the past few years and has grown into a stable, resilient nation with an exciting future! Bold choices to re-make, digitize, and open the economy have created the environment for innovation to thrive, business to succeed, and for Greek exports to find new markets and grow further.”
The article notes that “within this context, Greece has quickly become a major player in the world’s food and beverage industry. The small country that was once synonymous with hyper-local, inward-focused economics and food production is rapidly growing into a global distributor of goods and culture.”
Enterprise Greece is under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs and it aims to help “both the country to diversify into global markets and the international consumer to have easier access to Greek products.”
The article adds that “the unification of the organizations Invest in Greece and Hellenic Export Promotion Organization, Enterprise Greece has spurred the growth of Greek products to international restaurant and foodservice operators and consumers.”
It is also noted that “Enterprise Greece prioritizes foreign direct investment, and investors in the food and beverage industry make up a large part of this group. With an eye to promoting Greek trade with the rest of the world, Enterprise Greece is promoting healthy, high-quality products that Greece is known for available to a wider range of consumers than ever before. They accomplish this through a combination of networking (including attending trade shows and trade missions), information and consultation with both producers and distributors, and education.”
Emphasizing “what makes Greek food products special is central to Enterprise Greece’s mission – they want to tell the story of the products. Greece’s temperate weather and fertile terrain allow for a wide range of fruits and vegetables to be grown on the peninsula, and their access to the coast provides ample fish and seafood. With the Mediterranean diet gaining popularity over the past decade, chefs and individual consumers alike have taken to purchasing more olive oils, whole grains, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables, many of which are sourced from Greece,” the article continues.
“The rise of the Mediterranean diet puts Greece’s products in high demand “and Greek foods are poised to make a big impact in international markets,” the article states.
