“SUPPORTS SHOULD BE INCREASED”
Alhat stated that the state support to olives and olive oil should be increased in this direction and added, “We continue to work with all our strength to export our olives and olive oil in boxes, packaging and with high added value. However, we expect more support for further growth and more exports. If the supports are increased, we will attack in exports. Both the producer, the consumer and the state will win,” he said.
