“The aim is not to create a grants-based policy, but to create the conditions and infrastructure for the financing of the sector”
Cyprus’ Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment is to present on Thursday the National Strategy for the development of the primary sector, which was drawn up after an extensive dialogue with the agricultural organisations and all stakeholders, Minister Maria Panayiotou, said.
Speaking on Tuesday before the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture, Panayiotou said that the goal of the new strategy with 11 actions is to create the conditions and infrastructure for financing the development of the sector and not a grants-based policy.
