The Regional Secretariat for Economy will co-participate, at 90%, the maritime transport costs of raw materials intended for bread and pastry production in Porto Santo, with the measure entering into force tomorrow. This exceptional support remains in place until the end of the year, with a maximum limit of 10,000 euros per company.
The measure covers bakery industry companies and commercial establishments that have accessory bakery and pastry sections. The objective is to support the bakery sector on the island of Porto Santo, compensating for the high costs associated with maritime transport of raw materials to the island.
This initiative comes as a response to the logistical difficulties faced by sector professionals in Porto Santo, where the transport of goods by maritime means implies significant additional costs that affect the competitiveness and sustainability of local bakery and pastry businesses.
