In 1962, Panagiotis Goumas, a visionary vegetable farmer hailing from the picturesque town of Kalamata in Greece, launched a small business to promote not only his own but also his neighbors’ crops in Athens and other locations throughout Greece. As the ‘70s rolled in, he extended his reach to Europe, and in doing so, earned the distinction of being one of the first Greek businessmen to employ the term “extrovert.”
This far-sighted patriarch, who is the father of Georgios and Eftychia Goumas, the current proprietors, instilled in his children the confidence to export their goods to broader markets. Over the past five years, the third generation has diversified the company’s product portfolio by exporting widely acclaimed Greek commodities including extra virgin olive oil Kalamata PDO, Kalamata Olives and Kalamata natural sun-dried figs to global markets. Consequently, Agrexpo has emerged as award-winning leaders in the promotion of agricultural products in the Peloponnese region.
