Municipality of Visaltia
Agricultural and industrial municipality without major changes: almost as many opened as closed in a year. For its 16,036 residents it has few: restaurants, clothing.
This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΗ Βισαλτία είναι ένας ήσυχος τόπος αγροτικής παραγωγής και βιομηχανίας, όπου η κτηνοτροφία, οι καλλιέργειες και τα φωτοβολταϊκά δίνουν τον ρυθμό, με 61,4 επιχειρήσεις ανά χίλιους κατοίκους. Λιγοστεύουν όμως τα κομμωτήρια, τα ρούχα, τα φροντιστήρια και τα εστιατόρια, ενώ αξίζει μια πιο προσεκτική ματιά στην κτηνοτροφία, τον πιο ζωντανό κλάδο της περιοχής.
