The joint organization between Mértola and Serpa should serve as a basis to grow the Cross-Border Agricultural Fair of Vale do Poço and reinforce its role in discussing the main challenges of the territory. The mayor of Mértola, Mário Tomé, defends that the fair should grow sustainably and with themes that "make the territory grow."
In statements to the ODigital.pt newspaper, Mário Tomé explained that the fair represents an opportunity to address the challenges affecting the region, including agricultural and cross-border issues. The partnership between the two municipalities aims to strengthen the fair's position as a space for debate and reflection on territorial development.
The mayor highlighted the importance of maintaining balanced growth, where the contents and themes of the fair directly contribute to the progress of the Baixo Alentejo region, particularly in the rural and agricultural areas that characterize the territory.
