Grain producers from all over the country are threatening protests within two weeks. They plan to block off major thoroughfares in Bulgaria, the members of the board of the National Grain Producers Association decided at a meeting today, BNR’s Maya Shtarbanova reports from Dobrich.
The grain producers are unhappy with the custom-free import and the lack of phytosanitary control of the grain coming from Ukraine, and with the fact that the administration has so far done nothing. The protests are to begin after a caretaker cabinet is formed. According to the Association’s chairman Kostadin Kostadinov, sunflower from Ukraine is processed in Bulgaria and then exported with a Bulgarian label.
280,000 tonnes of sunflower and 6,000 tonnes of wheat have entered the country since 16 June.
