Cyprus Makes First Appearance At Tuttofood Milan

Making A Global Entrance

The Ministry of Commerce announced Cyprus’ first participation in the internationally recognized Tuttofood exhibition held in Milan from May 11 to May 14, 2026. The event, hosted at Fiera Milano, marked Cyprus’s latest effort to strengthen the international presence of its agri-food sector and expand export opportunities in European markets.

Strengthening Strategic Ties

Working in collaboration with the Cyprus Trade Centre in Athens, Cyprus operated an information kiosk aimed at promoting locally produced agri-food products to international buyers and distributors. Representatives from import companies, retail chains and distribution networks visited the stand during the exhibition, where meetings focused on expanding the visibility of Cypriot products in the Italian market and other international destinations.

Championing Heritage Through Quality

Particular emphasis was placed on products carrying Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certification. Flagship Cypriot products, including Halloumi and Commandaria, were presented as key export products reflecting Cyprus’s food heritage and agricultural production standards. According to the ministry, the exhibition provided an opportunity to strengthen Cyprus’s positioning within the Mediterranean food sector and promote products associated with authenticity and nutritional quality.

Forging New Commercial Partnerships

Participation in the exhibition is expected to support new commercial partnerships and additional export opportunities for Cypriot producers. The ministry said international promotion of domestic products remains part of Cyprus’s broader export strategy, particularly in sectors where local producers maintain competitive advantages in overseas markets.
