Record Greek Participation In Fruit Logistica
A record number of Greek participants was documented at the international fruit and vegetable fair “Fruit Logistica 2015” that took place in Berlin. Based on the number of exhibitors, Greece was in 15th place, according to the German-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.
A total of 45 participants represented Greece in the international fair, ten more than in 2014. The list of Greek participants included rural cooperatives, fresh fruit and vegetable businesses, as well as technical systems, equipment and packaging companies. The participants were divided in three group kiosks that reinforced Greece’s image and promotion of Greek products abroad.
Twelve Greek companies were represented at the Enterprise Greece Investment & Trade Promotion kiosk, five companies at the Great Trade Exhibitions & Export Consulting kiosk and three companies at the Economotechniki kiosk, which organized a special event under the Freshly program for the promotion of Greek fresh fruit.

Nia Vardalos Shows Support To The Greeks On Social Media
While Greece is in a complex political situation, Nia Vardalos, the star and screenwriter of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, took to social media to remind the world what “hard-working” and “loving” people the Greeks are.
Vardalos, daughter of Greek Canadian parents, shared her pride for being a Greek on her Facebook page.
“As a Greek (and a very proud Greek), I’ve encountered comments such as, ‘they should have paid their taxes.’ The ignorance of this comment is profoundly upsetting and selectively obtuse," the star said.
She added that she would have hoped that “society wouldn’t simply swallow the jaded media’s typical dissemination of false information”.
Vardalos then reminded the world that Greece is a beautiful nation of hard-working, loving people, “who would invite you into their home and even give you their bed.
“Please don’t judge a country’s people based on the actions of a government” she concluded.
