The recent extreme weather conditions have affected Cypriot crops, causing damages mostly to the potato plantations in the areas of Kokkinochoria and of the western part of Nicosia. Citrus fruits that had not been picked up, in the areas of Dierona and Arakapas, were affected as well, and even vegetables in some communities of Larnaca suffered.
Experts from the Ministry of Agriculture visited the affected areas and have recorded damages, so that the National Framework would be activated as soon as possible to support farmers.
