Canary Islands Government Announces Notification Process for Affected Farmers and Landholders

Overview

The Canary Islands government has announced a formal notification process for farmers and landholders affected by recent updates to the geographic information system (SIGPAC) for agricultural parcels.

Notification Details

• Farmers or their authorized representatives must attend during weekdays.
• Summer hours will be slightly earlier in the day.
