What we promised and committed to is that by May 15 we will pay the so-called compensatory aid, which is aid to support agricultural producers for the negatives caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine, explained the acting Minister of Agriculture and Food.
Support is in two directions. In the firstare the so-called sensitive sectors – crop and animal husbandry. They will receive an amount of about BGN 166 million. The other direction is grain production. The producers of the five crops – wheat, corn, barley, sunflower, rapeseed, as well as oilseed crops, will receive amounts in the amount of BGN 129 million. From tomorrow we will start the payment, confirmed the official minister Georgi Tahov.
