Farmers preparing for tractor protest in Nicosia

Farmers will be driving their tractors into Nicosia on Monday, February 16 to protest the serious problems they are facing and demand immediate solutions, their organisations announced on Tuesday.

The farmers will be demonstrating at 11.30am outside the Cyprus agricultural payment organisation, which they said had not yet been paid their benefits, despite assurances they were to be deposited by December 2025.

Those that did get paid found that chunks had been “unjustifiably” cut from their benefits.
