Olive experts visited an olive grove in Lastva

On Saturday, October 28, we had the opportunity to host members of olive growers associations and experts in the field of agroeconomy, olive growing and melioration from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, and present them with the olive grove surrounding an important infrastructure unit of SS Lastva.

The Executive Director of CGES, Ivan Asanović, welcomed the guests, extended gratitude for their visit and expressed satisfaction at the fact that regional experts focused their interest on the CGES olive grove. Asanović greeted the guests with a short speech and familiarised them with the features and importance of one of the most significant electro-energetic objects – SS Lastva and the idea of planting an olive grove. The olive grove itself reflects the company’s desire to give something useful and nice back to the community in which it operates, at the same time improving the visual impact of electro-energetic objects on this land whose whole area is extremely devoted to olives, as evidenced by the concrete contribution it makes to the development of olive growing with 1000 planted olive seedlings.

“Such an olive grove, which has its own future, is a result of considerable effort we have put into the careful nurture of Our Olive. I am proud of everything we have done, with the selfless help of our partner – the Olive Society Boka. Our partnership is marked by extraordinary cooperation, as witnessed by mutually significant Memorandum of Cooperation that we have signed with Ms Vesna Djukić, the representative of the Olive Society Boka,“ the executive director of CGES emphasised.

The esteemed guests had an opportunity to walk around the part of the area covered by the olive grove, which offers a beautiful view of the infrastructure project SS Lastva.

Renewable energy sources and social corporate responsibility, which is an important aspect of CGES operation, were among the topics discussed later, on the premises of the substation. The President of the Olive Society Boka, dr Ivan Ilić, addressed all the people present, praised the idea and the implementation of the project Our Olive and pointed out the necessity for Montenegro to have more socially responsible companies like CGES. Ilić wished CGES success in the olive grove cultivation as well as future projects.

We are proud of the fact that the esteemed guests from Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have chosen to visit our olive grove. We firmly believe that, in the coming period, we will also take pride in a product in the form of precious oil, which the ancient Greeks called “liquid gold.” ?
