Farmers to Stage Tractor Protest in Nicosia, Cyprus

Farmers in Cyprus are preparing a dynamic mobilization with tractors in Nicosia on Monday, February 16, outside the headquarters of the Cyprus Agricultural Payments Organisation (KOAP). The mobilization is organized by the Pan-Cypriot Cereal Producers Organisation and other agricultural organizations, with the aim of highlighting the serious problems faced by farmers and their immediate resolution. Farmers are protesting the delay in the payment of subsidies (hectare and special measures), despite KOAP assurances, as well as the unjustified cuts observed in the amounts paid. Additionally, they denounce the continued obstacles set by KOAP in the payment of subsidies, delaying the resolution of problems caused by the Turkish occupation and land fragmentation. The organizers call on all farmers to participate in the mobilization and demand immediate and substantial solutions.
