Company Overview
Founded in 1988, Paradeisiotis has grown from a modest family farm in Ora, Larnaca District, into one of Cyprus’ most vertically integrated meat producers. The business traces its roots to 1975 when grandfather Andreas Paradeisiotis began raising his own chickens, laying the foundation for today’s extensive operation.
Fully Integrated Supply Chain
The company controls every step of the poultry value chain – from breeding and feed production to slaughter, processing, packaging, distribution and retail. With 11 specialised facilities covering 33,500 m², Paradeisiotis offers more than 400 product lines, including fresh, chilled and frozen whole birds, meat cuts and ready‑to‑cook items.
Sustainability, ESG and Workforce Development
In response to rising grain prices, energy costs and labour shortages, Paradeisiotis has invested in renewable energy sources, energy‑efficient equipment and robust grain‑stock management. Continuous training programmes underpin a safe, productive workforce, aligning the firm with international ESG standards and ensuring long‑term competitiveness.
Market Strengths and Consumer Trends
Cyprus’ limited capacity to import fresh poultry gives local producers a clear advantage. Consumers increasingly favour high‑quality, certified white meat that is easy to prepare, driving growth in both retail and HoReCa channels. Paradeisiotis monitors these trends closely, directing research and development toward innovative, health‑focused products.

Company Marketing Officer Christiana Paradeisioti highlights the need for faster licensing, allocation of state land for infrastructure, and enhanced grant schemes to support modernization and automation. With a resilient integrated model and a clear focus on sustainability, Paradeisiotis is well positioned to meet the evolving logistics demands of Cyprus’ food sector.
