One of the most important crops in Malta is tomatoes, largely owing to the presence of the processing industry that produces tomato products. In this sector, negotiations focused both on the tomato-growing farmers as well as on the processing industry itself.

The compensation will total E18.18 million over a period stretching until 2014. The compensation consists of SMPPMA payment and of an additional EU payment.
