OPEKEPE will distribute 200 million euros to eligible farmers in Crete by Holy Thursday, April 9. The payments, covering both pre and post-Easter periods, were announced by government vice president Kostis Chatzidhakis. This first package of funds represents significant support for the agricultural sector as the island enters the spring season.
The timing of these payments ahead of the Easter period provides crucial financial relief to farmers during an important economic window. The OPEKEPE payments are part of ongoing government efforts to support agricultural production and rural economies across Greece.
