The Greek Agri-Food Supply Chain
Increased competition, the need to differentiate Greek agricultural products, and the obligations to comply with hygiene standards and certifications require the immediate reorganization of the agricultural supply chain in our country. This reorganization can serve as a lever for the development of the primary sector.
Additionally, due to the added challenges globally posed by the pandemic, it is imperative to study and reshape the Agrologistics sector to make the supply chain sustainable, enhance farmers' income, ensure food security, and reduce the environmental footprint.
Research on Agrologistics in Greece
The organization "New Agriculture New Generation" has undertaken the initiative to conduct a study on the agri-food supply chain (agrologistics) in collaboration with the National Center for Research and Technological Development (EKETA), the University of Piraeus Research Center (KEPP), the Institute of Port Training "Exantas," and the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Technology (CAIT) at Rutgers University, USA.
The recent study analyzes the current state of the agri-food supply chain in our country and highlights the needs and prospects of the sector.
