The cultivation of corn is probably the most important crop in the Municipality of Pogoni, likewise all over the Region of Epirus, since corn is a fodder of great importance in the area. The deterioration of corn’s productive system during the last years, together with the continuous economic squeezing of corn farmers and animal breeders, threaten the closely related pattern of primary production. This puts at risk one of the most important activities in the area, with a serious socioeconomic consequences.

This study aims at forming specific proposals for improving the corn production system through long-term rehabilitation of the exhausted productivity and fertility of soil and the optimization of production inputs. In this way, an increase in yield as well as a decrease in production cost will be achieved, and farming’s environmental impacts will be reduced. Hence, the area’s primary sector that has significant comparative advantages will be notably supported.
