Food

Food and beverage marketing and distribution in the Basque Country generate over 50,000 jobs. The Basque agri-food sector consumes around 6 million tons of food a year, over third of which is local.

The European Commission is committed to the bio-economy and environmental footprints in food products, which generates innovative opportunities in this sector, including the ecoefficiency of processes, reusing by-products or the new sustainable packaging.
