# Foot-and-mouth disease: 15 million euros paid to livestock farmers – new aid for milk and animal feed coming

> Greek Deputy Minister of Rural Development Thanasis Kavvadas said 15 million euros has been paid to livestock farmers on Lesvos affected by foot-and-mouth disease, with further aid for milk destroyed by restrictions and for animal feed expected in coming days. He also announced 73 million euros nationally for compensation and regional operating costs, including 12.5 million for regional disease-control expenses.

## Why it matters

Feed buyers in Greece may see stronger local demand for feed as restocking and milk-support payments flow, while restrictions on livestock movement on Lesvos keep regional dairy supply constrained. Impact on broader feed prices is limited.
