Initiative for Rural Development in the Perama Area<\/span><\/h5>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

In 2012<\/strong> Thracean Mines, broadening the Corporate Social Responsibility plan<\/strong>, has studied the possibilities of development of agricultural activities in the area around the Perama project, having as goal to contribute to the economic and social progress of the local community. In the context of the above study it has been asked to the distinguished scientist Mr. Allan R. Hingston<\/strong> to prepare a study regarding the rural development of the wider area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bakasietas, a vine-grower and owner of the company \u201cBakasietas Vine Nursery\u201d, has visited the area in order to examine if the cultivation of vines is appropriate for the area. Taking into account various parameters, such as the climatic conditions, the soil and the history of the area, he recommended the red wine varieties of Mavroudi and Merlot and the white wine varieties of Malagousia and Assyrtiko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although Thrace, and more particularly the region of Maronia, is mentioned by the Burgundy Wine Museum as the first region where wine was ever produced in Europe,<\/strong> it is today the area with the lowest wine production in Greece.<\/p>\n

The importance of viticulture for the local economy is not high and thus the production of wine is limited and these wines are consumed at a local level. There is the exception of a few vinification efforts will very good results.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ tablet_sm_width=”1″ css=”.vc_custom_1756806504728{background-image: url(https:\/\/metalleiathrakis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ampelia-2.jpg?id=2054) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 10px !important;}”]

The vines were planted in April 2013<\/strong>, after a two-month period after the completion of the appropriate preparation of the soil. Since then, all the necessary processes have taken place so that the appropriate soil composition and the good condition of the plants is preserved, according to the rules of good agricultural practices, under the instructions of an agronomist and in cooperation with the residents of the Perama and Komaros settlements. The high quality of the grapes<\/strong> is ensured with various interventions such as the continuous monitoring of grapes in order to avoid diseases and to place nets for birds.[\/vc_column_text]

Since then, the grapes of the Perama vineyards produce excellent quality wine, with every year increasing quantity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the vinification process<\/strong> we contacted a local agronomist, specialized in vinification, who has the expertise and cooperates with many wineries in the area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row heading_color=”primary-1″ padding_top_multiplier=”2x” padding_bottom_multiplier=”” separator_top_size=”100%” separator_top_color=”#740606″][vc_column width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1753087690334{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”]

Objective of the corporate social responsibility program<\/span><\/h5>[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

For many years now, Thracean Mines offers long-term benefits to the community where it operates through actions of Corporate Social Responsibility, such as the development of irrigation drilling and the creation of irrigation networks in an area where the respective infrastructure does not exist.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]The objective of the program of establishment of the Perama vineyard is to improve the living conditions, to contribute to the development and strengthening of the local community sustainably.<\/p>\n

Through the development of vineyards a parallel economy will be created, which will be independent of the operation of the mine, capable to absorb the total workforce of the area, after the closure of the mine.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]Already, the majority of the residents are trained in the cultivation of vines acquiring expertise on viticulture as well as vinification, in order to create their own vine cultivations and to generate value from themselves.<\/p>\n

The establishment of the Agricultural Wine Cooperative will provide the maximum possible value to its members through the sale of products, the control of operating costs, the improvement of profit margins.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]It must be remarked that the Perama vineyard is another proof that the development of the mine does not harm the water, the soil and the agricultural production, but rather creates the conditions for its further development.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, what is more important is that through the cultivation of vines the strong ties between the company and the local community that have been developed in all these years are confirmed.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The voluntary participation of the people<\/strong> proves that the residents of the two villages that are located close to the Perama gold mine accept and recognize the efforts of our company and consider this corporate responsibility project as their own.
