Greek Kiwi Exports Expand to 51 International Markets
What happened
Greek kiwi exports have expanded to 51 international markets, positioning Greece as the world's third-largest kiwi exporter. Export volumes rose from 198,000 tonnes during the 2022–2023 season to nearly 350,000 tonnes in 2025–2026. This growth is driven by growers replacing traditional peach and apricot orchards with high-yielding kiwi trees in regions like Pella and Imathia.

Why it matters

While national production could double within three years, industry representatives caution that a lack of adequate cold-storage infrastructure could create supply bottlenecks and pressure farmgate prices.
