During a presidential visit to Lamaceiros, Porto Moniz, where Miguel Albuquerque visited a three-hectare vineyard owned by Manuel Ramos Lucas and dedicated to the growing of Verdelho grapes, the President assured farmers that the government will continue to support agriculture and entrepreneurs within the sector.
According to the President, the idea is to encourage price policies and promote quality, in order to increase export quotas abroad and increase the sale of goods locally. At the moment, the agriculture sector represents approximately 200 million euros to the regions economy.
