The Greek Ministry of Rural Development and Food announced that electronic tagging will become mandatory for all sheep and goat farms nationwide starting in 2027.
For the 2026 Single Aid Applications, the system is being implemented on a pilot basis exclusively for farms with a capacity of more than 900 animals.
In these pilot farms, the requirement applies to all eligible animals over six months of age rather than just a portion of the herd.
To be eligible, animals must carry a conventional type-1 ear tag, an electronic ruminal bolus matching the ear tag code, and be registered in the Digital Traceability Database.
Farmers must order the boluses digitally, after which an authorized veterinarian must perform the placement and registration within two days.
