Payments for the hectare subsidies begin today, Monday, and the beneficiaries amount to approximately 29.000 with the amount to be given within December amounting to 47,6 million euros.
According to an announcement by the Commissioner of Agricultural Payments, today the subsidies started for the approximately 850 applicants of the Connected Support of Goats and Sheep, for which 4 million euros will be given.
Cyprus, it is reported, is the first EU member country that manages to pay subsidies on the first day that this is allowed by the regulations of the Union.
The Commissioner for Agricultural Payments reports that the end of this year is also approaching, "a demanding and difficult year for everyone, with many changes, anxieties, timetables that had to be respected and decisions that had to be made immediately, in order to be able to respond to the various challenges and requirements, for the modernization of the CAF and the implementation of our strategic goals".
Andreas Kyprianou warmly thanks everyone, the President of the Republic, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Agricultural Organizations and the Contractors "for the continuous support, help and cooperation we have had all this time to achieve today's result".
He also thanks all the staff of the Cyprus Agricultural Payments Organization at all levels of the hierarchy for their kind cooperation and the struggle they gave to meet the timetables set and wishes everyone a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025".
