JPP accuses Government of arriving late to the valorization of Tinta Negra

dnoticias.pt12 September 2026 at 14:22

JPP accused the Regional Government of arriving late to the valorization of the Tinta Negra grape variety, considering that it should have implemented valorization measures for this grape much earlier. The party now advocates for the need for a long-term strategy to ensure the sustainability of Madeiran viticulture.

The position was taken by Miguel Ganança, deputy and councilor for JPP, during a visit by the party's parliamentary group to the Harvest Festival, which is taking place in Estreito de Câmara de Lobos.

JPP recalls that, in March, measures related to the valorization of this grape variety had been announced, but the party believes that these initiatives arrived too late and that more consistent and planned actions are needed for the region's winemaking sector.

The visit of the parliamentary group to the Harvest Festival served as a stage for JPP to reiterate its concern about the future of Madeiran viticulture and the need for more ambitious policies to protect and promote regional grape varieties.

Why this matters

The readers of Madeira are directly affected because this issue concerns the future of an important economic sector of the region — winemaking. JPP, as a political force with parliamentary seats, is pressuring the regional executive to implement more ambitious policies to protect and enhance local production, which may have implications for government decisions on support and regulations for wine producers.
