The administration of La Palma has announced funding opportunities targeted towards the primary industry to participate in exhibitions and events off the island. Applications for this financial aid to cover such expenses are being accepted until 16th August.
Emphasising the importance of showcasing products from La Palma in other regions, the Minister for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Animal Welfare and Food Sovereignty, Alberto Paz, highlighted that this support enables workers to demonstrate the high quality that defines the island’s products.
