For the second year in a row and this year with the presence and support of the Greek embassy in Kuwait, the Peach Garden project lands in Kuwait to promote the European fresh peaches that produced in Greece and meet the industry decision makers to further boosts the trade relations between both countries.

It also provided an insight for a nutrition angle on the importance of the goldstone fruit to maintain a healthy lifestyle system.
The PEACH GARDEN” is a European project promoting and increasing the marketing value of Greek fresh peaches in UAE, Saudi Arabian, Egyptian and Kuwait market.
It was established by Greek Ministry of Rural Development & Food & the Greek Association of Imathia’s Agricultural Cooperatives Producers Organizations as a result of the many Greek Agriculture Cooperatives that are active in the fresh produce sector.
The main purpose of this project has to do mainly with the wide recognition and presentation of Greek fresh fruits (peaches, nectarines, kiwis, apples, apricots etc ) in these targeted countries.
The participating companies come from a province of Greece which represent the vast majority of production from the peaches and general stone fruits.
More importantly the project for Kuwait enlists a series of promotional actions that has to do mainly with the product sampling in supermarkets in Kuwait, event presentation, as well public relations that include business missions from Greece to the targeted countries as well vice versa, visits to production units in Greece.
This year, “PEACH GARDEN” in Kuwait will be organizing a promotional event at 20 outlets for the prime aim to communicate the authenticity of Greek fresh peaches to Kuwait residents.
One of the projects’ main priorities is to better inform, introduce and increase daily consumption of fresh fruits from Greece while also develop and increase their qualitive value.
