Greek Ministry holds agricultural dialogue on subsidies and production costs

The Greek Ministry of Rural Development and Food continued its 'Dialogue with Production' initiative through a meeting with agricultural representatives from Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace. The discussions, led by Minister Margaritis Schoinas and attended by Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE) Governor Giorgos Pitsilis, focused on critical issues including agricultural subsidies, rising production costs, and the impact of zoonotic diseases on livestock.

Key agenda items included the transition to the new CAP system, the completion of EAE 2026, and the upcoming Common Agricultural Policy for 2028–2034. While representatives discussed the need for increased competitiveness and better market connections, the meeting met with mixed reactions from producers.

Rizos Maroudas, a member of the Panhellenic Block Committee, noted a commitment to process agricultural payments by November 30, though the exact number of beneficiaries remains dependent on the finalization of ODBE declarations. However, Kostas Tjellas expressed dissatisfaction, stating that producers have yet to receive specific commitments or clear timelines regarding substantive solutions to their concerns.
