Cyprus needs an outward-looking, modern and sustainable agriculture and livestock farming, capable of fully meeting European standards and competing with similar products, at a high level of quality and food safety, said the Presidential candidate of the Republic Andreas Mavroyiannis in his address last night.
He was speaking at the
Farmers' Conference of the EPC where he presented his 16 positions for the Agricultural Sector.
The current economic situation of high inflation threatens to give the coup de grace to the already exhausted agricultural and livestock production of the country, with unpredictable consequences for the future of the country, he noted.
The aim, he said, is for high standards and increased productivity to lead to an increase in production and exports, with multiple benefits for the Cypriot economy.
A primary sector based on the circular economy and organic farming, which will exploit the climatic advantages of Cyprus and the results of research and innovation, is the only satisfactory answer to the challenges of today, he said.
The Central Council of the CySEC gave Andreas Mavroyiannis the book of the agricultural movement "From the stone years until today", through which all the struggles that took place in the last century in our country are recounted.
