Rich in culture and cuisine, Cyprus is now making its mark in the food industry. The favourable climate is of course a major contributing factor
in the huge variety of food that the island produces.
Cypriot food manufacturers have invested in the latest technology, enabling them to produce value-added processed
as
well as fast frozen food. In addition, the introduction of vigorous policies on food safety, has helped promote
premium
quality produce. Increased interest in health means that corners cannot be cut at any stage of the
production
process.
Exports of fresh produce and processed food in 2008 accounted for 42% of total domestic exports. The EU is
by
far the most important market for Cyprus with 62% of its exports directed to member states. Chief among
them is the UK, followed by Greece, Germany and Italy.
The ensuing webpages enable visitors to search for enterprises in the processed food industry. Information
on Cypriot fresh produce and wines is available in our thematic websites www.freshfruitvegetables.com and
www.winesofcyprus.co.uk respectively.
We would be most willing to invite importers and distributors of foodstuff to visit Cyprus for the purpose
of meeting manufacturers of products of their interest. For further information please send us
