Government support for farmers due to drought
December 10, 2025
The Cabinet has decided to provide emergency support to professional farmers due to prolonged drought, which has led to increased electricity costs. Farmers will receive €1,000,000 to subsidize part of their electricity consumption from July 2024 to August 2025. This support aims to alleviate financial pressures and ensure the sustainability of agricultural activities. Payments will be processed through the Cyprus Electricity Authority, and details will be determined by the Ministry. This intervention is essential to support agriculture in the country.
