The fundamental analysis of the Food and Drinks sector of the Greek economy, as well as the main companies of this sector, consist the target of this work. Within this context, the relevant financial data (derived from the financial statements of the particular companies) were combined with the available current information and analyzed through the utilization of classic methods of analysis, such as ratio analysis. The main findings of the work can be summarised as follows: The sector includes a great number of companies, which range from very small to very large ones and also from very strong to very weak, from the financial point of view. In any case, there exist opportunities for further development, due to the great variety of high quality agricultural products that are produced in Greece. However a deep market research is needed in order to identify the kind of the particular final products, which will be gladly accepted by the Greek as well as the foreign markets. Finally, most of the small companies need to invest towards the modernization of their production, otherwise they have no chance to survive in the already intensive competition of this industry.
