It highlights the cultural importance of anona, not just as an economic commodity but as a symbol of regional heritage.
We are committed to ensuring that our primary sector thrives, and today, we reaffirm our dedication to projects that will enhance the lives of our citizens and visitors alike," Maciel stated.
The festival's success underscores the importance of continued investment in local agriculture and infrastructure, aligning with the government's broader strategy to promote sustainable development in Madeira.
