This year in the Prefecture of Messinia, we are seeing a serious problem with the Margaronia. It is an insect that usually attacks young shoots as well as the fruit, affecting the point where two fruits touch more than individual fruits. On the olive tree, the insect’s larvae attack the tender tips of the shoots, unopened flowers and green fruit. It causes significant damage only to young saplings, so it is a problem for olive nurseries. In any case, what we have observed is that in areas where olive trees are infested by the olive fruit fly, those that have ... Read more

Prioritising the utilisation of Thrace’s zeolite. METHORIOS newspaper, Thursday 26 June 2014

Sugar production is subject to the national quota regulation. Previously, before 2006, Greece was entitled to produce 317,000 tonnes. Under this framework, it is entitled to produce 158,000 tonnes of sugar, which corresponds to a typical sugar beet crop covering approximately 225,000 stremmata. Greece has closed two factories, in Xanthi and Larissa. The allocation of stremmata to the factories was as follows: Platy (125,000), Serres (50,000), Nea Orestiada (50,000). Under the 2013 regulation, the situation will change in 2017 and each EU Member State will be able to produce as much as it wishes within an international competitive framework. This ... Read more
