Bulgaria would allocate 14 million euros to support farmers, Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov announced at the beginning of the government meeting today. Together with another 10 million euros already allocated by the Agriculture Fund, the sum for the sector by the end of the year would reach 24 million euros, as agreed between the authorities and protesting producers in September.
PM Denkov pointed out that these are funds for small farmers. Separately, under the irrigation program, 8 million euros are allocated to small and medium-sized farmers. They will cover 80% of the cost of water they use. Bulgaria will also send a letter to the European Commissioner for Agriculture, Janusz Wojciechowski, as Sofia wants the EU to remove the aid ceiling for farmers because of the difficulties caused by the war in Ukraine, the prime minister said.
