This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΟ Βελβεντός είναι ένας μικρός τόπος της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας, με αργούς ρυθμούς στην επιχειρηματική ζωή και 40,9 επιχειρήσεις ανά χίλιους κατοίκους, όταν ο τυπικός δήμος της περιφέρειας έχει 71,0. Ξεχωρίζει το χονδρεμπόριο τροφίμων, ποτών και αγροτικών προϊόντων, που δίνει τον τόνο στην τοπική οικονομία και αξίζει μια πιο κοντινή ματιά, ενώ τα εστιατόρια και το φαγητό έξω είναι λιγοστά.
