|
|
 aisins include two very distinct products namely currants and sultana raisins (sultanas).
Currants are produced exclusively in Greece while sultana raisins are produced and in other parts of the world. The main producing countries of sultana raisins except Greece, are Turkey and the U.S.
 urrants are black grapes that are dried under the sun and consumed mainly as dried fruits in food and sweets or alone.
Sultana raisins are grapes of a white-blonde color which are dried, treated and then consumed either as food additives or mixed with other dried fruits.

 lack raisins (currants) are also called Corinthian raisins due to the fact that they are mainly cultivated in the Gulf of the city of Corinth and the surrounding areas, and, being a highly differentiated product, are unique in the world. Black raisins (Corinthian raisins) have a very long tradition in Greece and have been the subject of agricultural policy measures since the start of the century.
Today, currants and sultana raisins are some of the Greek products with the largest demand in world markets.
