The Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will chair today at 13:00 a government meeting at the Maximos Palace on the subject of food supply and the strengthening of the primary sector.
The meeting will be attended by the Minister of Rural Development, George Georgantas, in order to examine any shortages that may arise, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in food and generally raw materials in the primary sector.
Announcing today’s meeting last Friday from Brussels, Mr. Mitsotakis stressed that the global food crisis concerns the government, although as he pointed out “it does not concern our country, but we must be prepared for such a crisis”.
“There is no food risk for our country,” said sources from the Ministry of Rural Development and Food at the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, noting that during the meeting the next steps of the government to prevent any food risk will be examined.
The meeting between Mr. Mitsotakis and Mr. Georgantas will also focus on two more issues.
The first concerns the increase in feed prices. The government intends to allocate 40m euros to support farmers.
The second equally important issue is the price of fertilizers, which has risen sharply since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
