The Kavala branch of POMIDA, the national association representing property owners, has expressed strong support for the agricultural associations of Kavala and Pangaio, backing their calls for greater state attention to the difficulties facing local farmers. The statement comes as producers in the region continue to navigate rising input costs and competition from imports, issues also raised by olive and grape growers earlier in the year. Local cooperatives say coordinated advocacy from business and property groups could help push regional concerns further up the national agenda.
