Milan, Italy. The Ministry of Commerce said on Monday that Cyprus made its debut with an information kiosk at the international TUTTOFOOD exhibition in Milan to boost the global visibility of its agri-food products. The participation was organised through the Cyprus Trade Centre in Athens and marked the country’s first presence at the event.
Exhibition details
The exhibition took place from May 11 to May 14, 2026, at the Fiera Milano exhibition centre and drew international stakeholders from across the agri-food sector.
Promotion of Cypriot products
The ministry said Cyprus’ main objective was the strategic promotion of high-quality Cypriot products in the Italian market and in wider international markets. Particular emphasis was placed on products with Protected Designation of Origin status, especially halloumi and commandaria.
Meetings and contacts
During the exhibition, representatives held meetings and contacts with importers, distributors, buyers, retail chain representatives and other stakeholders from the food and beverage industry. The ministry said these interactions enhanced Cyprus’ profile as a producer of authentic Mediterranean products with high nutritional value.
Future prospects
The ministry added that the engagement created prospects for further penetration of Cypriot products into the Italian and international markets and is expected to pave the way for new commercial partnerships and expanded export opportunities.
