Tsvetan Filev: Without financial instruments for support, the tobacco industry is doomed to death

More than 40,000 tobacco growers will receive BGN 74 million by the end of February. Tsvetan Filev, chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Tobacco Association, said in an interview with the BNR that the industry would seek consent from other European tobacco producers to continue to pay the transitional national aid also during the next programming period, until 2027. The reason is that the European Commission does not foresee such aid for the next period.

If there are no financial instruments for the tobacco sector and it remains only at its selling price, the sector is doomed, said Filev.
