The Consell of Mallorca Supports Local Trade Modernisation with Grants for 25 Social Economy Entities

According to the Councillor for Economic Promotion and Local Development, Pilar Amate, the goal of this aid program is “to boost activity in physical stores that promote social responsibility through investments that allow them to modernise and become more competitive in an increasingly globalised and digital market.”

Amate also emphasised that these initiatives contribute to promoting local products and proximity-based trade, supporting small businesses and cooperatives that offer goods produced on the island.

The grants will finance projects improving energy efficiency, ensuring universal accessibility, acquiring technological equipment and software, and optimising product display and organisation.

Among the supported entities are the Agricultural Cooperative of Sant Joan, the Farmers’ Cooperative of Pollença, the Organic Food Producers Cooperative, the Fishermen’s Guild of Santanyí, the Fishermen’s Guild of Colònia de Sant Jordi, and the Deixalles Foundation, among others.
