«I am honored to lead this important Consortium which represents an important part of the Sardinian olive sector», underlines Fois at the end of the meeting. «We will continue the work in the wake of the previous guide which was able to create important paths for the valorisation of PDO extra virgin olive oil in Sardinia. We are aware that there is still a lot of work to do and for this reason we will carry it forward with broad sharing of an already virtuous path, aware of the great potential that this sector has for the agricultural and agri-food economy of Sardinia".
