Cyprus - Agricultural SectorCyprus - Agricultural Sector
Overview
Area Administered by Turkish Cypriots:
A Turkish funded water project supplies the area administered by Turkish Cypriots with 75 million cubic meter square tons of water per year from Turkey through a constructed pipeline. While most of the water is set aside for drinking and household use, some will be available for irrigation.
Leading Sub Sectors and Opportunities:
Food processing and Exports
The area administered by Turkish Cypriots sometimes produces surplus citrus, potatoes, and carob that could be processed into finished products for the domestic market or exported abroad. The export to the area administered by Turkish Cypriots of cereals and animal feed (chickens, cows, and goats/sheep) are also possible growth markets for U.S. exporters.
