KATH, the Central Market of Thessaloniki, is a physical wholesale food centre in Thessaloniki, Greece. Its owner, Growthfund, describes 247 stremmata of land, equivalent to 24.7 ha, together with 280 produce units and 24 meat units. These are not necessarily counts of independent businesses: a trading unit and a company are different concepts. The profile does not state a clear measurement year. The separation of produce and meat activity matters when selecting suppliers and planning delivery arrangements.
The market provides a contact point for wholesalers, growers and professional customers seeking supplies in northern Greece. Start by identifying the relevant sector and business, since buying vegetables requires different specifications from buying beef quarters or small-ruminant meat. Fruit orders need variety, size grade and origin; meat orders also need a precise commercial presentation and chilling requirements. A description of the market as a whole does not establish the stock or terms offered by an individual seller. Agree the exact receiving or collection location before arranging transport.
A public KATH meat-price table was verified, with dates and columns for lower, upper and prevailing prices. Categories include lamb, goat meat, mutton, pork and beef quarters. The website was intermittently unstable and some statistics pages returned errors. Before using any figure, check its date, unit, origin and category description. Do not automatically interpret every number as EUR/kg or assume that a prevailing price is a weighted average. A market bulletin is a reference for discussion rather than a binding offer for a particular lot.
This distinction matters for anyone building a price-monitoring process. A failed link does not establish that publication has stopped, while a menu heading alone does not prove that current observations are available. An actual order price still needs direct confirmation from the counterparty, with quantity and collection or delivery terms attached.
A supplier should confirm the customer, receiving slot and required consignment description before dispatch. For an international delivery, agree the language of commercial documents, unloading responsibilities and the way discrepancies will be reported. A buyer should compare the complete landed or collected cost, including packaging, refrigeration and onward transport. A shared quality specification and documented weighing make subsequent settlement easier. Initial organisational enquiries can begin through the official KATH website, identifying the sector concerned rather than sending an unspecified request to every trader.
