SUMMARY
During the 19th century, the Balkan coast of the Black Sea constituted the second most important grain export region in the area and along with the export regions on the northern and eastern coast, the area became the greatest export centre in the world and Europe’s bread basket. Greek Diaspora merchants, mainly located in Danubian ports, in collaboration with shipping enterprises founded on the Ionian and Aegean islands, developed corporative networks that imported immense quantities of grain into industrialised Europe. |
