Özgür Ferhat submits livestock breeders’ demands to the Ministry

Rodopi New Left Party MP Özgür Ferhat has submitted a report to the Minister of Agriculture and Food, detailing the demands outlined in a statement published by the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Livestock Breeders’ Associations on January 13, 2025.

The statement highlighted the severe economic challenges faced by the livestock sector in the region. It also included updates to proposals and demands previously submitted to the ministry in August by associations representing areas such as Nevrokopi, Drama, Kavala, Xanthi, Iasmos, Alexandroupoli, and the Thracian red cattle breeders.

The associations criticized the measures taken to improve regional livestock production, as well as the economic and social impacts of quarantines imposed due to sheep-goat plague and lumpy skin disease outbreaks.

Leaders of the associations called on the government to act urgently to support the recovery of the livestock sector. They invited the Minister of Agriculture to visit the region, meet with industry representatives, and witness the challenges firsthand.

MP Özgür Ferhat pledged to continue advocating for livestock breeders, exerting pressure on the government to address their issues and standing by the farmers in their efforts.
