Specifically, from Wednesday (13/3) until Sunday (4/5), the “Lent Basket” comes into effect, as determined by the ministerial decision signed today by the Minister of Development, Kostas Skrekas.
This initiative is an extension of the “Household Basket” already in place, as three new food categories are added.
The aim is to ensure that every household will have access to all the necessary products for the Lenten table at affordable prices.
The “Lent Basket” includes the following products:
- Halva
- Fasting Salads (ointments – eggplant salads, taramo salads, etc.)
- Frozen seafood (at least two types)
The Minister of Development Kostas Skrekas said in this regard: “We want every home to have access to quality products at the lowest possible prices during these holy days. The “Lent Basket”, which is an extension of the “Household Basket”, includes all the necessary food for every household in view of the Lenten fast. No citizen will be excluded from those precious goods to fill the family table. The government will continue to take all necessary initiatives to effectively help all consumers.”
