Key Year for Agricultural
Sector in Bulgaria, EU
Plovdiv, South Central Bulgaria (BTA) - Opening a Megaforum for Agribusiness, Wine, Food and Equipment here on Wednesday, Agriculture, Food and Forestry Minister Dessislava Taneva said that 2020 is a key year for the agricultural sector not only in Bulgaria but also in the whole European Union, because the budget of the new Common Agricultural Policy will be determined this year.
By the end of 2020 Bulgaria will have ready a National Strategic Plan for the 2021-2027 programming period that will include all measures in support of all types of agricultural productions, Taneva said. The Plan's main focus will be green practices, she added.
She also said that Bulgaria's agricultural sector attracts strong investment interest and is developing positively. The investments in this sector amount to 8 per cent of all investments in Bulgarian economy, totalling 7.7 billion leva in the 2014-2019 period. The agricultural sector generates 3.5 to 3.8 per cent of the country's GDP, Taneva noted.
The Agriculture Minister told journalists that following Hungary's example, Bulgaria will set up a mutually supportive voluntary compensation fund for anti-hail protection. The fund will be accredited with the Paying Agency and will become operational in 2021, making possible the use of EU resources under the Risk Management measure. At present, there are no beneficiaries and money absorbed under that measure, causing Bulgaria to lose 35 million euro, Taneva explained.
The Megaforum for Agribusiness, Wine, Food and Equipment is on at International Fair Plovdiv until February 23. It incorporates four specialized exhibitions: Agra, Vinaria, Foodtech, and The Tastes of Italy.
