Public conference on the challenges and prospects of agriculture in Europe

As part of its General Assembly meeting, AREFLH (the Assembly of Horticultural Regions) organised a public conference in Central Macedonia to discuss the changes underway in Europe regarding the CAP and the new strategic horizon for the agricultural sector.

Three representatives from the host region opened the event. Georgios Kefalas, Vice-Governor, and Bane Prelevic, Vice-Governor for External Relations, spoke of the "need for exchange and discussion to build the future of the sector in our regions". Katerina Zografou, Vice-Governor of the regional unit of Chalkidiki, stressed that in this troubled context, "organisations like AREFLH are more important than ever to enable farmers to speak with one voice with the European institutions".

 

The first part of the conference was devoted to the challenges facing European producers. Luc Berlottier from the European Commission's DG AGRI also presented a progress report on sectoral intervention in the fruit and vegetable sector. He highlighted the trend towards a greater concentration of European production in a decreasing number of producer organisations.
