Greece Faces Potential Feta Cheese Shortage Amid Sheep and Goat Pox Outbreak

In Greece, the outbreak of Sheep and Goat Pox has led to significant culling of animals, raising concerns about a potential shortage of feta cheese, a key export product. The government has responded by increasing biosecurity measures and announcing a €56 million support package for affected farmers. Despite the unfortunate deaths of sheep and goats, there have been conflicting reports as milk production has reportedly increased. Farmers warn that without intervention, the ongoing health crisis could lead to widespread milk shortages across the country.
