Concerns of Dairy Farmers Regarding Halloumi Production and Financial Support to the Occupied Territories

September 9, 2024

Dairy farmers believe that the Cypriot government has compromised the trade of halloumi by providing financial support to the occupied territories. A nationwide meeting will be held on September 18, 2024, to inform producers about the latest developments. The focus is on new requirements for halloumi production, aiming to increase the proportion of goat's and sheep's milk to 51% by 2029. Farmers are concerned that these policies will harm their production in the free areas.
