The Foreign Ministry, in collaboration with ICAP S.A., and using the KOMPASS database, has posted on the AGORA webpage lists of foreign businesses that are active in the importing and distribution of products from Greece’s main export sectors in the destination countries of Greek exports.
In accordance with Deputy Foreign Minister Dimitris Mardas’ platform statements, and given the excellent quality, on a global level, of Greek export products, as well as the increasing demand for these products abroad, information has been posted regarding the companies active in countries that are our 30 to 40 main trade partners. Criteria for the choice of sectors included their participation in the mix of Greek exports and the interest of Greek entrepreneurs, as expressed in their correspondence with the Economic and Commercial Affairs Offices. Data on some 7,000 foreign companies have been posted.
The sectors chosen include food and beverage, organic products, fertilizers, gas or electricity gauges, toys, beauty products, packaging materials, tobacco, clothing, textiles, marble, personal hygiene and grooming products, lifts, and solar collectors.
The initiative in question is a follow-up to the posting of corresponding data on delicatessen distributors in countries abroad. Our ultimate goal is for Greece’s principal export products to be further promoted in foreign markets, strengthening their global recognition and acceptance.
Through its extensive network of missions abroad, and mainly its Economic and Commercial Affairs Offices, the Foreign Ministry is making every possible effort towards a global increase in the number of high-quality Greek products sold in foreign markets.
For more information on given markets, interested parties may address themselves to our missions in the foreign countries that interest them.
