Nearly all of Greece’s Regions,
which have become increasingly
engaged by adopting an
outward-looking perspective and
helping their local companies take
part in major trade shows abroad.
The national pavilion, which hosted
major food exporters from Greece,
organised by Enterprise Greece,
caused quite a sensation during
the ANUGA 2019 International
Food and Beverage Trade Fair.
In the largest food and beverage
trade fair in the world held in
Cologne, Germany, October 5-9,
2019, which drew more than
170,000 trade visitors, our
national pavilion stood out among
the other 106 national pavilions.
It was one of the few examples of
national clustering, where a significant number of companies – including some
that belong to the same industry and are direct competitors - joined forces to
promote the brand of Greece outwards.
RECORD NUMBERSAs a country, Greece made its presence felt once again - with a record 286
exhibitors – boasting the sixth largest national participation among European
countries and reflecting the potential demonstrated by Greek exports in recent years.

With a long history and innovation in
apiculture, the Epirus Gea Honey of the
Kaldanis beekeeping family, is one of
the exhibitors.
Since 1955, the family’s father has
been practising nomadic apiculture in
the region of Epirus, and in the
mid-1980s the business passed on to
the three sons, who were successful in
continuing their beekeeping business.
This evolution peaked with the creation
of a vertical apiculture product (Honey,
Pollen, Royal Jelly) and honey
packaging unit.
The beehives are moved to the virgin
lands of Epirus, the pine forests of
Halkidiki and to Evia, on Mount Mainalo.
THE TARGETS FOR ANUGAAs Nikos Kaldanis notes, the
company's goal from participating in
the trade show “is to broaden our
market and acquire new customers"

With its constantly expanding range of snacks, Rho Foods, the new generation snack company, took part in Anuga 2019, in Cologne.The company, which found that a growing number of consumers in recent years, throughout the world, are turning to healthy and nutritious food, also made a turn in this direction. In fact, it has created for this market the new ranges of “Free-from” (gluten-free, lactose-free, no added sugar, et), Clean label and Functional Foods (products rich in protein, vitamins, etc).
NEW PRODUCTS AND BEST SELLERS“Since 2014, we have been producing snacks that meet these consumer needs under the Rho Foods brand. With a comprehensive and constantly growing range of snack products, such as dried vegetable and fruit chips and energy bites from fruits and nuts”, notes Iris Malama.The goal from participating in the trade show was to increase exports and to present the new range of products, the “Energy Balls” snacks.The best sellers are the Kale Chips.

In the past five years, the Bafas company has attempted to develop its extroversion. A company member underlined for FnB Daily that “we used to work almost exclusively with the internal market, everything was going on plan, until the crisis overturned everything. We were forced to turn to international markets since consumption plummeted”.
PRESENCE IN THE USAIts presence in the US market is already significant, since Mediterranean Pita chose Bafas, among the few Greek dairy producers, to distribute its products to two regions, New York and Chicago. It also had a collaboration with Loumidis in the past. Apart from the USA, the Epirus dairy plant sends products to:• Bahrain • Singapore • Germany• France• Belgium • Netherlands
HIGHER PRICES DUE TO QUALITYThe president of the dairy plant, Tasos Bafas, notes however, that “ at international level there is also a problem since there is intense price competition. However, our products are of very high quality, and we cannot sell them at extremely low prices, under the cost. But how can we easily sell feta for 5-6 euros when the others sell for example for 4?"He added that in France, for example, they buy boat loads of cheap “feta” cheeses from various countries, and from Greece they buy only a few pallets.
DELAYED PAYMENTSIn the Greek market however, there is excessive pressure, since, as he said, the market does not pay, and payments are made with extreme delays. When it comes to retail, the company sells its products to supermarket chains Sklavenitis, The Mart, AB Vassilopoulos and Lidl, one week a year, during the Greek products week.

With a long history since 1897, the Georgoudis company, which has now passed onto the third generation, took part in Anuga, which it has been visiting for more than 50 years with its products, the Greek olives.According to Petros Asi, Exports Manager, this is a good opportunity for meeting customers from abroad in one place. The company produces, packages and exports Greek table olives, under the Parthenon brand, and is one of the largest food export businesses in Greece.According to Mr. Asi, the main market is that of the USA, while the company is always in search of new partners.

We generally had large numbers of visitors from existing and interested clients”.As regards the company's performance abroad, Mr. Asi notes that it is important to have consistency and professionalism in all levels as a company. “We meet our customers abroad face to face”, he mentions.The company is constantly investing in equipment, promotion and products, and takes part in foreign trade fairs, like Fancy Food, PLMA, Sial and others.
