Cyprus announces financial aid for farmers to cover fertilizer costs

The Cypriot Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, in cooperation with the Cyprus Agricultural Payments Organization (CAPO), has launched a new financial aid scheme to assist professional farmers and agricultural enterprises. This initiative aims to alleviate the burden of increased fertilizer prices resulting from the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

The aid covers a portion of the costs for eligible fertilizers purchased between June 1, 2026, and October 31, 2026. The financial support is capped at 15% of the invoice value, excluding VAT and any applied discounts. The total funding for this project amounts to €701,200, which is fully covered by European aid.

Applications are being accepted from Wednesday, November 11, 2026, until Wednesday, November 25, 2026. Interested parties must submit their applications to the District Agricultural Offices of the Department of Agriculture between 08:00 and 14:00. Relevant documentation, including the policy document, application forms, and information manuals, is available on the official websites of the Department of Agriculture and CAPO.
