The possibility of strikes in our ports, as stated in a letter to the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Famagusta MP Dr. Kyriakos Hatzigiannis, will be disastrous for potato growers.
The current period is particularly sensitive for the export of Cypriot potatoes and, as Mr. Hatzigiannis emphasizes, every week that is lost cannot be replaced in terms of the effects on the export of Cypriot potatoes and therefore calls on the Minister to take the necessary initiatives. to avoid strikes, so that the exports of Cypriot potatoes can continue unhindered.
Irrigation cover for potato crops
It is necessary to fully cover the irrigation of potato cultivation, states in his second letter to the Minister of Agriculture, the Famagusta MP Dr. Kyriakos Hatzigiannis and calls on the Minister in view of the rise in temperature and the completion of this year's water irrigation corresponding to each producer. Given this year's rainy season, possible cuts will only make it difficult for this year's harvest, concluded Mr. Hatzigiannis.
