The Greek government is culling hundreds of thousands of sheep and goats due to a pox outbreak, raising concerns about feta cheese supply.
Authorities have initiated mass culling to curb the spread of the disease, which threatens livestock and the country’s dairy industry.
Farmers report impacts on milk production and long-term effects on feta cheese availability in local markets and exports.
Officials emphasize that measures aim to prevent wider outbreaks and protect livelihoods, though farmers worry about economic losses and animal welfare.
Public health and veterinary authorities are monitoring the situation, implementing quarantine zones and vaccination efforts where feasible to control the spread.
The culling plan has drawn mixed reactions, with some calling for compensation for farmers and faster support, while others urge continued vigilance to safeguard the herd and dairy sector.
Experts note that the disruption could affect feta production timelines, pricing, and regional supply chains, potentially increasing prices domestically and abroad if the outbreak persists.
Given the high value of feta in both Greek cuisine and international markets, stakeholders are prioritizing rapid containment, transparency, and clear communication about timelines and recovery prospects.
