Select Greens Romania Market Entry: Expanding Egyptian Agricultural Exports into Eastern Europe

Select Greens Romania market entry is now officially underway following our participation in a high-level roundtable hosted by the Egyptian Businessmen Association (EBA) with the Romanian Ambassador to Egypt, H.E. Olivia Toderean. This event opened a strategic gateway for Select Greens to strengthen its footprint inside the European Union and accelerate market penetration into Eastern Europe.

The session featured key Romanian–Egyptian decision-makers including Mr. George Petrusan, Commercial Counselor of the Romanian Embassy, along with representatives from the Egypt–Romania Business Council. Their insights and support have positioned Select Greens as a strong candidate to expand its product portfolio into Romania’s rapidly growing fresh and frozen food retail sector.

Romania: A Key Market in Select Greens’ European Expansion Strategy

As Select Greens Romania market entry progresses, market data shows strong demand for Egyptian citrus, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, strawberries, mango, and frozen French fries within Romanian supermarkets. Romania’s strategic location makes it a crucial access point not only for its domestic retail chains but also for distributing into Central and Eastern Europe—including Hungary, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Serbia.

This geographic advantage strengthens Select Greens’ export strategy by enabling:

• Shorter logistics routes into EU markets

• Competitive pricing against regional suppliers

• Expanded distribution channels for bulk and retail packaging

• Stronger brand presence in European supermarket chains

This expansion directly supports Select Greens’ 2025–2026 roadmap to elevate Egyptian agricultural exports through reliability, advanced logistics, and compliance with EU food safety standards.

Highlights from the Roundtable with the Romanian Ambassador

The meeting focused on several commercially significant themes:

1. Romania’s strategic interest in expanding partnerships with Egypt

With Romania actively increasing its economic presence across the Middle East and Africa, Egyptian exporters—especially in agriculture—are well positioned to benefit from this new wave of cooperation.

2. Opportunities for joint ventures and long-term contracts

Romanian retailers and distributors are seeking dependable partners for consistent supply of premium fruit and vegetable categories. Select Greens, with its strong track record in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, stands ready to fulfill these expectations.

3. Support from the Commercial Counselor

Select Greens has been granted an open channel of communication with
Mr. George Petrusan, Commercial Counselor of Romania in Egypt, to facilitate market entry discussions, import requirements, product approvals, and B2B matchmaking.

This direct diplomatic and commercial support significantly enhances the potential for fast, structured penetration into Romania.
