Serious Challenges in Banana Cultivation Due to Water Shortages
June 16, 2025
Agriculture in Paphos, particularly banana cultivation, is facing serious challenges due to water shortages. Farmers are struggling to save part of their plantations, but this year they are receiving only half the amount of water compared to previous years. If the dam at Mavrokolympos is not repaired soon, many plantations will dry up. This situation is causing despair among growers, as bananas are sensitive to drought.
