Greece has quietly become one of the top exporters of kiwifruit worldwide, thanks to its fertile land, favorable climate, and expertise in cultivation. Today, Greece consistently ranks among the top 3 kiwi exporting countries, sending delicious, nutrient-rich fruit to markets across Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Despite challenges such as spring frosts, the sector is resilient with exports to be expected to grow by 10–15% this season, with Greek producers targeting new markets in Latin America, Asia, and Northern Europe.
Greek kiwis have become a true ambassador of the country’s fresh produce industry, opening doors for other fruits as well.
