Sheep and goat farmers in Cyprus have submitted a request for emergency financial support to the Ministry of Agriculture, citing the challenges posed by foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and rising feed costs. The request was made by the Union of Sheep and Goat Producers’ Groups in a letter addressed to Minister Maria Panayiotou. Farmers are particularly concerned about the impact of livestock movement restrictions due to the disease, which they believe could have severe and lasting consequences for their businesses.
In response, the Ministry of Agriculture has acknowledged the request and confirmed that it will be evaluated by the relevant authorities. The ministry noted that it has been in continuous communication with the farming sector and is already implementing compensation measures for losses incurred due to FMD. Moreover, officials are assessing the epidemiological situation, with early signs indicating a possible improvement, which could lead to the relaxation of some preventive measures.
The Union of Producers has emphasized the urgent need for immediate assistance, highlighting the rising costs of dairy production linked to the ongoing restrictions. As the situation develops, farmers are hopeful for a timely response from the government to address their economic hardships.
