Richness Of Greek Products Introduced At Singapore Event

KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 (Bernama) -- The National Union of Agricultural Cooperatives in Greece has introduced "High quality, safe and durable products from Greece/ Hellenic European Products PDO/PGI", a special event showcasing some of the best products from Greece with the assurance of their high quality and distinct characteristics.

According to a statement, the event brought together media, importers and distributors to experience the richness of Greek products.

This is an activity in the Hellenic European Products PDO/PGI campaign, a promotional campaign funded by the European Union (EU) to promote the quality and safety of Greek products.

It highlighted some of the best products from Greece, including cheese, olive, olive oil, saffron, mastic, mastiha oil, and raisin, which have obtained Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) labels, ensuring their authenticity and unique qualities.

“We are delighted to bring some of the best products from Greece to Singapore. Through the Hellenic European Products PDO/PGI event, we want to showcase the high quality, safety and durability of these products, as well as create new opportunities for businesses in Singapore and Greece,” said a representative from the EU.

PDO covers agricultural products and foodstuffs which are produced, processed and prepared in a given geographical area using recognised know-how, while PGI covers agricultural products and foodstuffs closely linked to the geographical area.

Offering numerous opportunities for businesses in Singapore and Greece to connect with importers, distributors and other stakeholders in the food industry, the event is expected to boost trade and economic relations between the two countries while promoting the EU's commitment to quality and safety in food products.

The Hellenic European Products PDO/PGI event is an exciting and informative occasion for all participants as well as an excellent opportunity to experience some of the finest products from Greece while learning about the EU's commitment to quality and safety.
