Cyprus farming groups welcome rainfall as no significant damage reported
Farming organisations say recent rain has helped agriculture across Cyprus, while power has been restored to several farms in Lympia after an outage.
Lympia, Cyprus. Farming organisations welcomed the recent wet weather across Cyprus, reporting on Thursday that it had helped agriculture without causing significant damage.
Rain helps soil retain moisture
Agricultural federation secretary-general Panikos Hampas said every agricultural sector had benefited from the rainfall. He noted that particularly heavy rain had fallen in mountainous areas and said the effects remained beneficial so far, with the ground taking in water and holding moisture.
Pek president Christos Papapetrou shared that assessment, saying no significant damage had been reported to the agriculture ministry.
Electricity restored to affected farms
Hampas said the only reported problems concerned several farms in Lympia, which had lost electricity for several hours. The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) had subsequently restored their supply, he added.
