Today, a delegation of livestock farmers will visit the Maximos Mansion to meet with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The aim of this meeting is to obtain firm commitments regarding immediate and actionable solutions to bolster the future of the livestock sector in Greece. This encounter is seen as a crucial indicator of the government’s priorities concerning Greek livestock and its ability to engage effectively with producers from the sector.

The meeting is expected to include over 20 participants, including representatives from several agricultural and livestock organizations, such as the National Confederation of Agricultural Cooperatives (EDEAS), the Federation of Thessaly, the Association of Greek Livestock Farmers (SEK), and the Panhellenic Association of Livestock Farmers (PEK), along with groups from Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. There is also a possibility of representatives from a newly formed association for those affected by livestock diseases, particularly foot-and-mouth disease, based in Larissa. The participation of these representatives emphasizes the urgency and significance of addressing the challenges faced by the national livestock industry.

Overall, this meeting could facilitate critical dialogue regarding the needs and challenges of livestock farmers in Greece, while also showcasing the government's responsiveness to sector demands. It may not only lead to immediate solutions but also set the tone for future interactions between the government and the agricultural community, which is vital for the sustainability and growth of livestock farming in Greece.
