Erhurman proposes bicommunal committee on halloumi amid FMD tensions

Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman proposed the creation of a bicommunal technical committee on halloumi on Saturday, stating that the Turkish Cypriot side is ready to cooperate with the republic on agriculture and livestock issues as the island confronts the spread of foot-and-mouth disease.

In a written statement on social media, Erhurman said the initiative would help manage risks affecting livestock production and protect the future of the island’s most important dairy product.
