Austrian Quality

Austria has developed into a gourmet country over the past years. With quality and taste, Austria's food and drinks industry has managed to position itself not only on the domestic market, but also on more than 180 export markets. The increase in the export quota of 16.6% in 1995 to 60% in 2015 underlines the success.

Ambitious farmers, vintners and chefs have perfected their wares. They develop produce of the highest quality for food lovers. The Austrian food and drinks manufacturers take the lead in quality standards on the European and international markets. More and more high-price luxury products are being exported, with consumers across the world ready to pay appropriate prices for quality and exceptional taste.

The largest share of agricultural exports are from the food and drinks industry (customs section 16-24). Leading export areas are energy drinks, carbonated drinks and iced teas, along with pastries, cakes and other sweet Austrian delicacies.
