Agriculture Minister Seeks Practical Solutions for Farmers

The Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Dr. Maria Panagiotou, stated that the government is seeking practical solutions for farmers, without bureaucratic procedures. She made the statement to KYPE after a meeting with agricultural organizations that led to the temporary postponement of their mobilizations. The Minister submitted a mediation proposal, which has been adopted by KOAP and will be submitted to the European Commission for evaluation. The proposal mainly concerns cultivators of private plots with multiple owners and appears to satisfy the agricultural organizations. The Minister stressed the importance of simplifying procedures for farmers and avoiding bureaucracy.
