On October 10, farmers will receive transfers totaling BGN 200 million (EUR 102 million) under the so-called "Ukrainian aid", announced caretaker Minister of Agriculture and Food Georgi Tahov. At a meeting with representatives of the agricultural sector, Minister Tahov said that there is a decision of the State Fund Agriculture to pay the amount and a notification has been sent to the European Commission for the entire amount of BGN 325 million (EUR 166 million).

Georgi Tahov and Finance Minister Lyudmila Petkova will meet with representatives of stakeholders on October 10.

Minister Tahov added that due to adverse weather conditions that have had a negative impact on agricultural production, Bulgaria requested the activation of the EU's crisis reserve, allowing affected farmers in the country to benefit from this mechanism for the first time.
