Cyprus Agriculture Minister Seeks Farmers' Views on Policy Revision
WHY IT MATTERS
The revised agricultural policy may have a significant impact on Cyprus' agricultural sector, potentially affecting farmers' incomes and consumer prices. The outcome of the policy revision will be crucial in determining the sector's future direction and the support it receives from the government.
What happened
Cyprus Agriculture Minister Christos Senekis is seeking the views and needs of farmers ahead of the revision of the agricultural policy. The minister aims to strengthen the primary sector and support facilities like the Deryneia farmers' market, which allows direct contact between producers and consumers.
Senekis notes that this direct contact can boost producers' income and reduce the final price for consumers.
The minister also addresses water scarcity, stating that this year's water availability has been relatively favourable compared to previous years.
