Agriculture and Rural Payments Agency (ARPA)

Malta's CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027

Coupled Income Support – Tomatoesfor Processing

The Agriculture and Rural Payments Agency (ARPA) within the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights (MAFA), is once again offering farmers the facility to transfer parcels pertaining to tomatoes for processing. Farmers in the tomatoes for processing sector, who will be transferring or receiving parcels from third parties, will be given the opportunity to transfer a parcel or parcels for claim year 2023 only.

The purpose of this procedure is to reduce excessive bureaucracy for farmers since those fields transferred during this period will be automatically transferred back to the original farmer at the end of the year, without the need of the parties involved to submit another request.

Thus, those interested farmers from the sector of tomatoes for processing are to visit one of the Agriculture and Rural Payments Agency's Front Offices between Monday, 16th January and Tuesday, 31st January, 2023.

It is important that all those who wish to transfer parcels bring with them all the necessary documentation so that the transfer can occur without delay. This may be done at one of the following offices:

Malta: Front Office at Pitkali Markets, Ta Qali, limits of Ħ'Attard

Gozo: Front Office at Government Experimental Farm, Xewkija

Days: Monday to Friday (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays)
