Subsidies of BGN 79 million have been paid to animal farmers according to a total of 21,220 applications submitted. This reminded the Minister of Agriculture and Food Dr. Miroslav Naydenov, in connection with the protests of animal farmers in the towns of Kardzhali, Sliven and Plovdiv. Hundreds of animal farmers have not yet received their money, because it appears that they have not paid their debts to the NRA, highlighted the Minister. The deadline is extended by the end of January, so they still have time to pay their obligations and to receive subsidies, the minister also pointed out.
For the first time, animal farmers will receive their funds against taxes paid, and I think it is right to be that way, underlined Minister Naydenov.
