The Ministers of Development Takis Theodorikakos and Rural Development and Food Kostas Tsiaras held a meeting in view of Easter and the increased demand for lambs for the festive table. 

According to a joint press release, next week, the Ministry of Development will issue a ministerial decision on the Easter Basket and the products it will include in an effort to keep prices low.

Reinforced controls will be launched immediately at both the wholesale and retail levels to ensure compliance with the prescribed profit rate and prevent market distortions.
