Tailored Accounting for Agriculture: Supporting Cyprus Food Producers
From small family farms in the Troodos mountains to large-scale vineyards and horticultural exporters, we deliver specialist accounting, tax, and advisory services that understand the realities of farming.
Agriculture Accounting Services That Address Rural Challenges
Running a farm or rural business in Cyprus means dealing with seasonal income, unpredictable weather, EU subsidy rules, rising costs, and complex family dynamics.
At A&C Christofi Ltd, we’ve worked with Cyprus food producers for decades from our Limassol base, travelling to even the most remote villages to make sure our clients pay less tax, protect their assets, and pass the farm on successfully.
Specialized Expertise: From Family Farms to Large-Scale Food Production Operations
Agriculture is the backbone of Cyprus – from the small family olive grove that has been in the same hands for generations to modern export-focused operations shipping halloumi and citrus around the world. We work with every kind of producer on the island:
- Olive groves and table olive producers
- Vineyards and wineries (Paphos, Limassol, Commandaria regions)
- Citrus, avocado, and subtropical fruit growers
- Potato and vegetable farmers
- Dairy and livestock enterprises
- Greenhouse and hydroponic operations
- Halloumi producers and cheese exporters
- Organic and regenerative farming businesses
Our team stays fully up-to-date with the issues that matter most to Cypriot farmers. They include EU rural development grants and direct payments, greening and environmental requirements, water rights and licences, succession rules, export certifications, and the ever-changing tax treatment of agricultural income and assets.
Our Agriculture Accounting Services
At A&C Christofi Ltd, we go far beyond basic compliance. Our services are built specifically for Cyprus farmers and food producers – helping you save tax, protect wealth, and future-proof your business in an ever-changing environment.
Financial Statements & Tax Returns for Primary Production
We prepare accurate, fully compliant financial statements and tax returns that maximise every available agricultural concession, from reduced tax rates on farming income to special deductions for water infrastructure, drought-affected assets, and EU-funded investments.
End-to-End Accounting Software Migration
Move from outdated systems to modern cloud accounting without stress or lost data. We manage the entire process – migration strategy, data extraction and cleansing, Cyprus-specific chart-of-accounts redesign, testing, staff training, and post go-live support.
Proactive Tax Planning Strategies
We provide year-round tax planning tailored to the seasonal nature of farming. Our agriculture accountants help smooth volatile income, legally minimize income tax, capital gains tax, and immovable property tax, and ensure you capture every available farming relief.
Property Acquisition, Disposal & Water Rights
Get expert guidance when buying or selling farmland, subdividing, developing, or transferring water licences. We structure transactions to access stamp duty exemptions, CGT relief, and family succession concessions.
Business Growth & Value Gap Analysis
We benchmark your farm against similar Cyprus operations and identify profit-improvement opportunities. Detailed cash-flow forecasting and growth plans help close the “value gap” between today’s farm value and your long-term goals.
Farm Succession & Estate Planning
Our multi-generational succession planning keeps farms in the family, treats on-farm and off-farm children fairly, and minimises transfer taxes. From family trusts and binding financial agreements to wills and testamentary trusts – we cover everything.
EU Subsidy & Grant Application Support
Receive hands-on help to secure rural development grants, direct payments, young farmer schemes, environmental programmes, and investment subsidies. We handle the paperwork so you get the maximum funding available.
Export Structuring & Halloumi PDO Protection
Get specialist advice on VAT, customs duties, and company structures for exporters, plus guidance on protecting and correctly using the Halloumi Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) when selling overseas.
Diversification Advisory
Thinking about agritourism, solar energy, carbon-credit projects, or adding value through processing? We provide feasibility studies, funding advice, and tax-effective structures to make diversification profitable and sustainable.
