About us
The history of BIOGRECO began in 2001 when three young people chose to live with their families in Laconia, southern Greece. Stavros Argyropoulos and Babis Lyras, animal scientists, and Meletis Giannakos, farmer, put a bet to place chicken meat in supermarkets’ shelves as it used to be: genuine, original full of taste, but also certified, safe and healthy. Combining scientific knowledge with agricultural experience, they managed to introduce for the first time to the Greek market, fresh certified organic chicken.
During the first years, the production was very small. However, soon the consumers began to recognize the uniqueness and the quality of the product and thus BIOGRECO team managed to develop and improve its infrastructure.
Nowadays BIOGRECO comprise 4 family poultry farms, the collaboration of which leads to the production of about 200,000 organic chickens per year; this quantity corresponds approximately to 70% of organic chickens’ production in Greece.
BIOGRECO has its sophisticated slaughter and packaging facilities, private distribution network and automated organic animal feed factory.
The production exclusively of organic chickens was the choice of BIOGRECO team since its foundation and that because we believe that organic products are not simply a “trend of the market” but probably a unique proposition for sustainable agriculture in small-scale exploitations with respect to the environment and the sustainability.
