Explore the universe of Europe’s Food and Drink SMEs
SMEs represents 99% of all businesses in the EU. In the past five years, they have created 85% of new jobs and provided two-thirds of total private sector employment.
During the networking event named “Small Scale, Big Impact” and organised by FoodDrinkEurope, Phil Hogan, the European Commissioner for Agriculture & Rural Development, stated: “I firmly believe that our food and drink SMEs epitomise so much of what is great about European business”.
There are 289,000 food and drink companies in Europe; 9 in 10 are Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). They are present in every region and stand for both tradition and innovation in our industry.
These companies produce a vast range of food and drink products, satisfying the diverse and continuously changing needs of Europe’s 500 million consumers and a multitude of other customers worldwide.
Food and drink SMEs employ local workforces – 2.8 million workers in total. They source their raw materials mostly from Europe. This makes them essential actors in our economy and a key component of Europe’s food and drink sector, which is the EU’s largest manufacturing industry and globally ranks as the largest exporter of food and drink products.
