Agriculture could be key for emerging from crisis, minister tells farmers

Agriculture could be the key for Greece's exit from the economic crisis and for this reason will be supported, Agricultural Development and Foods Minister Costas Skandalidis said while addressing a seminar in Pella on Saturday.
 
The minister pointed out that the government was setting up a new Agricultural Enterprise Fund that would initially have roughly 150 million euro at its disposal, adding that central Macedonia could have a privileged role in the new developmental model as a centre for research, innovation and for transporting agricultural products towards Europe.
