According to the branch organizations, one hundred large farms, which are the backbone of the Bulgarian livestock industry, have not received a penny of support in the last 10 months. In this context, 50% of the milk in Bulgaria is imported, and it is dry milk. The situation is similar with meat, say farmers. Some of them threaten that if they do not receive assistance by the end of the week, they will ritually slaughter their animals on the roads.
"There is no reason for the livestock breeders' protests, the Memorandum is being strictly implemented," the Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement.
From there, they point out that the payment of the promised funds is carried out in an accelerated manner. Since the signing of the Memorandum, BGN 381,633,157 (over EUR 195 million) have been paid out.
