Farmers from the eastern Rhodopes protest today near Bulgaria’s Kardzhali because of low milk purchase prices and non-payment of subsidies. In addition to the resignation of Minister of Agriculture Rumen Porozhanov, farmers also demanded that subsidies be harmonized with those in other EU Member States.
For example, they pointed out that in neighboring Romania the subsidy for an animal was 460 euro, while that in Bulgaria was 125 euro.
According to farmers, livestock farming in the Rhodope Mountains has been dying out precisely because of the lack of subsidies.
