The Cyprus Government I encouraging farmers to rehabilitate their grazing land and to produce fodder crops for sheep and cattle in order to meet increasing demands for meat and milk which at the moment have to be imported in considerable quantities. A too heavy concentration on cereal culture has resulted in large-scale crop failures in dry years. Since 1966 UN/FAO World Food Programme has supplied 10,000 tons of maize over a three year period and now under an extension of the project for a further 5 years, I will supply 54,600 tons of feed grains. The total cost to WFP is $5.6 million. The project began with 500 farmers who, with the introduction of improved sheep breeds and better feed, have considerably increased their incomes. It is intended to expand the project to include 2,500 farmers, from both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities.
