The road to the Israeli market was opened for Greek kiwifruit, after the completion of the procedures and the signing of the bilateral phytosanitary agreement.
Thus, after the relevant consultation of the competent services of Greece with Israel, the signing of the protocol, which defines all the requirements for importing kiwis to Israel, was entered into.
In particular, according to a document from the Directorate of Plant Production Protection of the Ministry of Rural Development and Food, Greek kiwifruit exporters are now able to export fresh kiwifruit (botanical species: Actinidia chinensis and Actinidia deliciosa) to Israel, since receiving the document, according with the official phytosanitary requirements of the country.
