Agricultural Association Calls for Increased Monitoring of Green Line Due to Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The Cyprus Agricultural Association expresses concern about the potential spread of foot-and-mouth disease from the occupied territories to the free areas, due to the inability to control livestock farms in the occupied areas. It emphasizes the importance of prevention and cooperation among all stakeholders to protect livestock, animal production, public health, and the income of producers. It calls for increased monitoring of the green line and the funding of additional medicines and infrastructure for livestock farms for preventive purposes.
