In the spirit of the platform statements of Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Mardas, a list of delicatessens in 70 countries was posted today on the Foreign Ministry’s economic diplomacy portal, AGORA.
The data were collected from the Greek Missions abroad (Economic and Commercial Affairs Offices, Embassies and Consulates). The purpose of the endeavor is to inform Greek food and beverage producers and exporters with regard to sales points abroad where they can promote their products.
Given the excellent quality of Greek food and beverages, and the increasing demand for these abroad, delicatessens are emerging as an ideal channel for promoting high-quality products and, as such, are high among the preferences of consumers – particularly consumers belonging to the highest income groups.
Our ultimate goal is for Greek products of high gastronomical and nutritional value (organically produced products, PDO & PDI products) to become familiar and accepted throughout the world.
The Foreign Ministry – through its extensive network of missions abroad, and mainly the Economic and Commercial Affairs Offices – will make every effort in this direction.
For more information, interested parties may address themselves to our Missions in countries of their interest.
