Easy Agro expo joins Recovery Fund

With a budget of 20.7 million euros, Easy Agro expo, a project for agricultural extroversion, which includes the development and upgrade of a series of digital applications, has joined the Recovery Fund.

More specifically, it concerns the issuance of export certificates, Business intelligence for Imports-Exports, Import management system and intra-Community trade, and a Greek Farms Portal for Greek products. They are expected to contribute to the strengthening and support of the exports of the Greek agri-food sector.

The easyagroexpo.gov.gr platform was activated at the beginning of the year as the digital “passport” for a series of Greek products in key markets of third countries, such as the USA, Australia, Japan, Canada.

The interested companies can now submit the relevant applications only electronically, through gov.gr, filling in all the necessary data for the export of products such as dairy, fish, honey, meat, eggs etc.

The platform currently includes 120 separate applications for issuance of export certificates for thirty countries, which are available at gov.gr, in the category “Agriculture and Livestock” and the subcategory “Exports of agricultural products and live animals”.

This effectively achieves the digitization of all export trade of live animals, products of animal origin and animal by-products to third countries.

A time-consuming process – in the past – is now carried out with just a “click” to facilitate entrepreneurship, boost trade and increase exports of agricultural products.

The interested parties are initially identified with their codes in Taxisnet and immediately afterwards they submit the export application digitally, by category and type of products. The application is automatically sent electronically for inspection by a veterinarian of the Directorate of Agricultural Economy and Veterinary Medicine (DAOK) of the area where the company’s premises are located.

If the application is approved, the final export certificate is received by the locally competent DAOK, in order to bear the signatures and seals defined by the relevant transnational agreement.
