“The commitment of the Calabria Region and Arcea is confirmed – declares the Councilor for Agriculture Gianluca Gallo – in guaranteeing timeliness and certainty in payments, concretely supporting the daily work of agricultural businesses. Every euro put into circulation represents an investment in the competitiveness of the sector and in the economic stability of our territories”.
