Bulgaria Holds Worthy Place
on World Wine Map -
Agriculture Minister
Vidin, on the Danube, February 14 (BTA) - Bulgaria holds a worthy place on the world wine map and is a preferred wine tourism destination, Agriculture and Food Minister Ivan Ivanov told journalists on Monday. Ivanov was visiting a 150 ha vineyard by the Danube River on St Tryphon's Day, the festival of vine-growing and wine-making.
He said his trip to that part of the country was a sure sign that the region has a potential and the government is indebted to it. Investments in the local vine and wine industry show that the region has a future. Last year alone, Vidin Region received 1.7 million leva from State Fund Agriculture under an operational programme. Ivanov pledged that the government will be a good partner to vine-growers and wine-makers.
The 2022 state budget has 111 million leva for anti-COVID measures, part of which will go to the vine and wine sector. Ivanov said the sector has priority status for the Agriculture Ministry.
During his visit, the Minister was accompanied by Vidin MPs Filip Popov, Ivo Atanassov and Peter Milanov, the town mayor and local residents. MY/VE
