With the primary aim of fostering the growth of Greek aquaculture and of its Members, the privately owned nonprofit Hellenic Aquaculture Producers Organization (H.A.P.O.) was established in 2016, when the initial 21 Members agreed to combine their efforts and self-finance the creation of a national Greek identity for their products and their distribution to selected markets. Today H.A.P.O. consists of 23 Members representing approximately 80% of Greek aquaculture. Parallel to a complex network of promotional activities, H.A.P.O. provides a wide range of active support in terms of research, collaboration, development, education, training, advice, problem-solving, networking, liaising with academic institutions, scientific entities, authorities and more. The Organization's primary mission, the growth of Greek aquaculture and the promotion of fresh fish farmed by the members of H.A.P.O. characterized by the collective label Fish from Greece, is being achieved by developing and establishing their Greek identity and by highlighting their exceptional characteristics. Fresh fish labelled Fish from Greece, are raised with the utmost care and in the most ideal locations of the country's unspoiled and transparent seas, by people with knowledge, experience and expertise, according to EU standards and regulations.
