Advances until the end of May for compensation of farmers affected by the January frost

During these three years of the government, ELGA has given very large and immediate compensations to our affected farmers, stressed the Minister of Rural Development, George Georgantas, supporting the provisions of the ministerial amendment, which has been submitted to the bill of the Ministry of Health for Primary Health Care. the EOPYY.

The Minister stated that the provision of the amendment gives the opportunity to the regional governors to extend until 31/12/2022 the land use rights to the farmers by main occupation and the other beneficiaries, in order to continue their cultivation in them.

Another provision of the amendment provides for the possibility of compensating the farmers affected by the frost that occurred at the end of January 2022. The biggest losses concern the regional unit of Argolida. At the moment, the evaluation is being completed by the competent levels of ELGA and it is estimated that in the Prefecture of Argolida alone, the affected farmers are estimated at over 5,000. Their damage is estimated at around 20m euros. With the specific provision, ELGA for the third time – said Mr. Georgantas – will give an advance payment of 60% of the damage immediately, maybe in May, so that the victims can cultivate again until they are cleared. Also, for the ranks of ELGA, it is foreseen that those who participate in them can work on weekends, without a limit of compensation per month in order to complete the registration process faster by the end of June.
