In Greece, there are over 15,000 enterprises engaged in food processing, producing goods valued at approximately $11 billion. Key market drivers include the gradually improving economic climate in Greece; consumers' higher spending on packaged food in 2019; an increasing interest in healthy and functional foods; an aging population; and a trend to follow the Mediterranean diet - mostly in order to reduce expenses and receive the best price possible. The major imported ingredients for processing are meat products, milk and dairy products, cereal-based products, confectionary, and beverages and alcohols.
