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.

ANUGA 2019

way possible through promotional postings in focal points of the trade show.

Foreign visitors expressed their considerable interest in Greek products,

particularly as regards their quality, cultivation conditions, production methods

and uniqueness.

Makis Voridis, Minister of Rural Development and Food, visited the Greek

pavilion and talked to nearly all exporters. During a special event organised by

In addition to the new products, the company also presented its classical products, such as:• Semi-hard cow cheese• Semi-hard sheep • Grilling Cheese • Feta

THE GOALS FOR 2020The company has drawn up a business plan for 2020, according to which it will boost the company’s presence in the Western States of the USA, reinforce its presence in Germany and expand to Central Europe.

It is worth noting that the company’s dehydrated feta cheese was awarded in London and in the Anuga Innovation Show, placing it among the most innovative products of the trade show.

THE TRADE SHOW“The purpose of our company's presence in

the trade show was to expand our export activity in Europe, as well as the large markets of the USA and Central Europe”, states Nikos Komoutos, General Manager of the company, to FnB Daily, and adds that “the trade show was more low-key that we expected. The company's products which attracted the interest of visitors, were the Grilled Cheese and the snacks with the dehydrated feta cheese”.

INVESTMENTSAccording to information of FnB Daily, the company has launched an investment on a feta cheese line and a new grill cheese line, which will be completed during 2019.

DIVANIS

Launch of dehydrated feta cheese

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"

Greek company Vevi is taking part in the start-up section of the trade fair, promoting innovative ways for the consumption of Greek herbs at international level. According to Konstantina Papadimitriou, Sales Export Manager: "More specifically, we want to promote our idea of Greek herbs using quick consumption methods, such as pods (disposable or reusable). We create herb products that can be used both in Nespresso and in Dolce Gusto machines”.

EXPORTSThe company's export activity is strong, and its best-seller products are the Greek oregano from

the mountains of Northern Greece and the special mountain tea of Mount Olympus. Yet another product with great success is the authentic oregano oil. It is a pure oregano essential oil made 100% by distillation, without any additives, having incredible antioxidant properties. The company exports to• UK • Hungary • Czech Republic • Cyprus • Canada • South Korea• Cost Rica • America

AIMING FOR THE ARAB EMIRATES “Exports account for the largest part of our turnover. We are in contact and distribute our product range to the GCC markets”, notes Ms. Konstantina Papadimitriou.“The company chooses to take part in the largest food expos globally. From SIAL Paris, to Summer Fancy Food in New York in June 2019 and now in ANUGA Food 2019. We intend to exhibit our products once or twice a year in major events and also appear in smaller domestic or European events (FOODExpo, MAPexpo, BioFach and other smaller BIO markets). Trade shows are very important for the trust we inspire in our associates and for meeting new ones”, she adds.

With a 120-year history behind it,

Eleofillo-Aggelakopoulos Farm from

Aigio, took part in the Cologne

trade fair.

The large old farm owns an area of

around 50 acres in the villages of

Koumari and Hatzi in Aigio, with olive

groves, currant and vineyards.

The company produces

• Extra virgin olive oil ELEOFILLO

• Traditional molasses

• Traditional wine vinegar

• Sweet or balsamic vinegar

• MEDINEO white and MEDINEO

red wines

THE GOAL FOR ANUGASotiris Aggelakopoulos reports that

the company presented its products

and services to new and potential

customers during the trade fair, also

having the opportunity to cultivate the

relationship with friends and satisfied

customers.

ELEOFILLO

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. It is a healthy vegan snack, made of dried kale leaves, with a crispy coat of nuts.

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.

abroad also in the past, like Sial in France, as well Anuga in Germany. Any company’s

participation in international trade shows plays without doubt a catalytic role in the

company’s extroversion. The presence in international trade shows is the first

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. As he notes “there were a lot of discussions in the trade show, and we had visitors which are not classic olive customers, like Korea. 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.
