Tridge summary

Apple harvesting is underway in the country, with early varieties bringing good prices but increased production leading to price pressure. Apple producers in Agia face challenges such as difficult access for collection and distribution due to natural disasters and increased production costs, leading to a difficult economic environment. The Ministry of Anti-corruption will support them with aid through the de minimis program.

There are concerns about sunburns in apples from Kastoria, and damage from sunburns needs to be compensated. The reduced flow of exports to Egypt and increased imports from neighboring countries are creating problems for domestic production.
