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 manufactured products, fresh produce and wines is available in our
thematic websites Cyprus Manufacture, Cyprus Fruit & Vegetables and Wines of Cyprus
respectively.

The Cyprus Trade Centre invites British importers and distributors for an all expenses paid visit to
the island, including travel and accommodation, to explore the possibility of trading with Cypriot exporters. For further information please contact the Cyprus Trade Centre.
