Having been present in its area of action for almost a century, the Union of Agrinio has already become the most important, if not the sole, pillar of the local rural economy. It is, in fact, the great ally of farmers, a characteristic strengthened by farmers themselves since they address all of their needs to the Union of Agrinio. Τηειρ philosophy is described in the trademark of the Cooperative: Two people joining hands, uniting their forces in a coalition that will undoubtedly benefit them both. They are surrounded and protected by the cycle of the Union, represented by the two reverse “E”s (“Enossi” means “Union” in Greek), a cycle that is crowned by a plant that grows and gives fruit, symbolizing production. The Union is responding to modern requirements and is consistent with their belief that farmers have a key position and role in the development of renewable energy sources; they are investing in emerging technologies in the field.
