Bulgaria’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry presented the support rates for Bulgarian farmers under the extraordinary sub-measure Covid-1. Bulgaria asked the EU to provide financial aid to farmers calculated on all additional costs the farmers make on their arable land and livestock due to the coronavirus crisis. The Commission has rejected Bulgaria’s proposal and offered an alternative option which envisages that Bulgarian farmers receive aid in the form of a lump sum depending on the size of their arable land and the number of their animals and bee families. The payment ceiling for each farmer is set at EUR 7,000, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry announced.
