Poland\u2019s informational stand of 16 sq. m, organised for the first time at this fair, was arranged thanks to the cooperation of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Athens, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the National Support Centre for Agriculture.

FRESKON is one of the largest events of such kind in the Balkans and Southeastern Europe. The main theme for this year\u2019s edition was apples, which is why the main objective of Poland\u2019s presence was promoting Polish apples on the Greek market and encouraging local fruit importers and distributors to buy them. Poland\u2019s stand offered promotional folders and materials as well as fresh apples from the Gr\u00f3jec region, which the visitors could take a bite off on site.<\/p>\n
Poland\u2019s presence at FRESKON was much praised by organisers and acknowledged by both visitors and the local media. Polish apples are already known and appreciated on the Greek market, but there is still potential to grow export and increase its value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
