Summary/Abstract: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an international investment in balance of payments accounts. More specifically, it is a category of investments that reflects the goal of establishing a permanent interest, from the establishment of subsidiaries abroad, which are partially or wholly owned by the parent company. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been stagnant for the last decade in Greece. The period under consideration is essentially the period of the global economic crisis and it is particularly interesting how the agri-food sector of Greece reacted. Despite the negative macroeconomic environment, the share of FDI in the agri-food sector is increasing. In the last decade, the agri-food sector is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing sectors of the Greek economy. Foreign companies in the sector are currently showing significant success due to the dynamic growth of the Greek food market over the last decade, but also the access that Greece offers to the markets of Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. An important element is also the recording of FDI in the purely agriculture sector.
