Grevena to be Greeces first organic prefecture
|
|
|
The Greek government envisions converting Grevena into Greeces first
organic prefecture, development minister Christos Folias said Saturday,
addressing the opening session of the two-day 1st International Symposium on the
theme
Creating the Future with Social Responsibility, adding that the
initiatives and interventions of recent years were already yielding tangible and
measurable results for the region.
Already, 15 percent of the arrable land
in Grevena was producing organic produce, making it the top such producer in
Greece, in which the average was 2 percent, Folias said, noting that Grevena was
also among the top organic producers at European level, too.
The wager to
render Grevena the greenest prefecture in Greece will definitely be won, Folias
said, and called on all the local residents and leaders to help achieve that
goal. In recent years, he continued, a total of 428 projects with an overall
budget of 605 million euro were unfolding in Grevena, laying the groundwork for
achieving much more in the wider area.
He said that, under the development
ministrys Operational Programme Competitiveness, 44 projects budgeted at 14.5
million euro were underway in Grevena in the sectors of tourism, commerce,
processing-manufacturing and personnel training, with 250 business concerns
receiving subsidies for investment plans estimated at more than 100 million
euro.
Referring to the 100 million euro development plan for
Northern and Central Pindos, he said the project was proceeding at a rapid pace
and in a spirit of cooperation and solidairyt along four axes, which concern
improvement of the fundamental infrastructures and quality of life,
strengthening of the productive environment, projection and utilisation of the
natural and cultural heritage, and upgrading the human dynamic.
Folias explained that the government
endorsed entrepreneurship with a social face and partnership respon-sibility,
noting that among the top priorities was investment in organic farming and
stockbreeding.
He also noted that
the government backed private initiatives, which he called the DNA of the
Greeks.
