Among the things that the farmers are waiting for are the remains of the base and the greening for the plots that were in the monitoring, the control of which is not yet finished and which concerns more the Region of Thessaly. This means that some producers in this category have not been paid the special cotton aid, while others still have basic and greening arrears for the plots that were under control.

The payment of these producers, as long as there are no problems with the eligibility criteria of the areas declared under cotton cultivation, will be made at the end of the control process.
There are also quite a few farmers with inheritance or rental transmissions, whose files have not yet gone to the Regional Banks and the corresponding control has not been done. Of course, it should be noted that this has been dragging on since last December and the payment authorities were also aware of this, given that in OPEKEPE’s announcement regarding the payment of the single payment it is stated that “transfers of basic support rights for the year of application 2022, with minor exceptions for which additional verification or the presentation of supporting documents is required”.
