ZAGREB, January 20, 2019 (Hina) – Croatian winemakers are presenting their products at the 84th International Green Week fair in Berlin, which is taking place from January 18 to 27.
Thirteen Croatian companies are exhibiting their products with the support of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce (HGK) and the Ministry of Agriculture.
“Half a million visitors and a turnover of nearly 50 million euros generated through direct sales at the fair show that International Green Week is one of the most important events for the agricultural sector. This is an exceptional opportunity for Croatian producers to present their quality and expand to new export markets,” HGK president Luka Burilović said at the opening ceremony.
With the aim of branding Croatia as a wine country, the HGK organised a promotional evening on Saturday to present Croatian wines to highly-regarded Berlin restaurant owners.
In 2017, Croatia exported 786 tonnes of wine worth over 2 million euros, while in the first nine months of 2018 exports exceeded 700 tonnes to reach the value of 1.9 million euros, the HGK said.
Croatia will be the partner country of next year’s Green Week.
