Simplification of the Common Agricultural Policy for Cypriot Farmers
January 2, 2026
The recent agreement on simplifying the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) ensures favorable regulations for Cypriot farmers by reducing bureaucracy. The Minister of Agriculture highlighted that this will facilitate small holdings, as farmers with plots under 100 decares are exempt from checks. The agreement also includes direct compensation for damages from extreme weather events. These changes will help improve production and adaptability to market needs. Overall, the agreement strengthens Cyprus's role within Europe.
