The Cyprus Agricultural Payments Agency (CAP) announces that payments, totalling €279.945, to the beneficiaries of Measure 22: "Emergency Aid to Support Farmers to Cope with the Effects of Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, Action C: Viticulture - (varieties 'Xynisteri' and 'Nopio Mavro')".
The aim of the measure was to provide financial support to winegrowers for vineyards of the 'Xynisteri' and 'Local Black' varieties, whose grape production from the 2022 harvest would not be placed on the market and would remain unpaid until its complete physical destruction.
Beneficiaries were vine growers (natural and legal persons) who are registered in the Vineyard Register and who own vineyards with at least one tenth of a single and compact vineyard area per vineyard registered in the register, of the variety 'Xynisteri' and/or 'Ntopio Mavro'.
The European Union's contribution to the aid is 48% of the financing of the measure, the remaining 52% being a national contribution.
