site.btaSchools, Kindergartens Will Consume More Bulgarian and Organic Products

Children in schools and kindergartens will consume more Bulgarian and organic products after the Council of Ministers amended and supplemented an ordinance on the conditions and procedure for the implementation of schemes for the provision of fruit and vegetables and milk and dairy products in educational institutions. 

From the school year 2024/2025, the range and supply of organic and local products to kindergartens and schools in the country will be expanded. 

The changes are in line with the objectives of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy to reduce the environmental footprint of human and industrial activity, as well as the objectives and priorities set out in the new programming period for the implementation of the School Fruit Scheme and the School Milk Scheme.
