Cretan Farmers to Hold Major Protest Rally Over Economic Pressures
Cretan farmers are organizing a large protest rally on January 15 to address ongoing economic challenges affecting the sector. The decision was made during an emergency general assembly in Heraklion, where farmers expressed their anger over rising production costs and falling product prices. Key issues include high feed prices and delayed subsidies, which threaten their livelihoods. They demand financial support, stricter controls to protect local production, timely compensation for losses, and a strategic plan for sustainable development in agriculture.
