Greek fish farmers are technologically advanced, internationally competitive and focused on exports—just the sort of business many say the country needs. But like many other exporters in Greece, the fish farmers need imports. Fish meal comes from Norway, for instance, and fish oil from Chile.

When capital controls restricting the wiring of money abroad were imposed in late June, it became extremely difficult to pay for imports. A firm called Kefalonia Fisheries scrambled for weeks to find a find a way to feed the fish in its pens, says its managing director, Lara Barazi.

Kefalonia was planning to add a new production site in September, says Ms. Barazi. Now that is uncertain. Greece’s prime minister on Thursday will call for new elections, probably that month, government officials said. And “anytime we have elections, we have months of governmental inertia before and after,” Ms. Barazi says.

Kefalonia has been able to adapt, she says, but at a heavy cost: “Instead of focusing on building your business, all your energy is spent trying to anticipate the next crisis.”
