A Greek producer has, for the first time, received the prestigious “World’s Best of the Best” distinction, a rare global honor in the field of agriculture. Sakellaropoulos Organic Olive Groves were nominated by previous award recipients and, following a rigorous international evaluation process, were honored in the Agriculture category with the rare “World’s Best of the Best” title.
The award ceremony took place at the Quirinale Hotel in Rome, where George Sakellaropoulos stated:
“Today, the efforts of Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms over the past 35 years are being rewarded with this rare distinction. This is a major and deeply meaningful moment in our journey — a lifetime award — for which I express my sincere gratitude.
Our work began with a vision to develop and promote exclusively renewable, sustainable, and green practices, based on certified organic cultivation. This approach has led to the creation of natural olive products with scientifically proven health-protective properties, supported by clinical studies and research conducted at leading institutions and universities worldwide.
With this unique and honorary award, you are honoring not only our work, but also my country, Greece, my homeland — the historic city of Sparta — and the entire Greek olive and agricultural sector.”
