Major farming organizations have backed a national program aimed at revitalizing Cyprus's livestock sector between 2027 and 2038, urging swift government implementation.

The president of the Larnaca district self-government organisation has called for a clear strategic plan to guide decisions on livestock farming, emphasizing the 'tragic' situation facing the primary sector in Cyprus.

MPs, farmers, and officials in Cyprus clashed during a heated session of the House agriculture committee over the spread of foot-and-mouth disease, which they described as the 'gravest threat in living memory' to the livestock sector.
