The damage left by the cold wave that has been hitting our country for the last few days is incalculable. The damage suffered by the farmers in Sotira due to the frost, which has particularly affected the potato crops, is also very serious.
In recent days, the thermometer has dropped below 0 degrees Celsius, leaving farmers awake to irrigate their potato crops in order to escape frost damage. However, there are many complaints from farmers who talk about the minimum amount of water provided through the Southern Pipeline by the Department of Water Development.
Potato growers appeal to the authorities to listen to their problems, which after the destruction of the potato crops due to frost, have increased sharply, in combination with the general problem that exists with the Cyprus Organization of Agricultural Payments and compensation.
