Water Supply Cut Off for Farmers in Cyprus

The sudden interruption of water supply to farmers by the Water Development Department is causing serious concern for Cyprus' food security. Panagrotikos denounces the abrupt decision, which was made without consultation with agricultural organizations, and calls for the intervention of the President of the Republic and the payment of compensation. However, farmers emphasize that they need water and infrastructure, not just subsidies, to continue food production.
