Whatever is done, the farmers will protest, Minister of Agriculture Kiril Vatev told journalists regarding the tension in the sector. He expressed his readiness to stand behind their protest against "the complications that the green requirements cause them and make them unprofitable in the market, against the intentions to be competed by dumped imports from third countries and it is not only about Ukraine".

In the meantime, it became clear that Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov will meet tomorrow with representatives of agricultural producers in order to present to them the measures with which the cabinet will be able to engage.

According to Kiril Vatev, the analyzes have not been stopped, they are being done and since the beginning of this year, opportunities for financing have been sought.
