Summary

Seeking innovative agriculture projects that are environmentally friendly and adapted to the market reality of Cyprus, the beneficiaries decided to invest in a state-of-the-art agricultural production unit. The new unit will provide premium horticultural products to the Cypriot market and, more importantly, will be able to export these products to new markets, such as the Greece and the Gulf Countries. 

Rural Development Programme (RDP) support facilitated the construction of a state-of-the-art greenhouse which includes a nursery and a hydroponic growing plant, using Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) as well as storage and packaging facilities.
