site.btaAgrifood Chain Bill Submitted for Impact Assessment
The Minister of Agriculture and Food, Georgi Tahov, announced that all the opinions and views on the agrifood chain bill have been reviewed and on Monday it was submitted for an impact assessment, which will be carried out by Bulgarian Academy of Sciences teams. He was speaking at the forum New Opportunities and Challenges for the Bulgarian Agricultural Sector, which is part of the national campaign "Yes! To Bulgarian Food", on Tuesday.
The assessment will take at least three weeks, after which there will be a one-month public consultation, the minister said. He noted that the bill provides for the regulation of only 22 food products, against the background of more than 15,000, and its aim is to ensure that farmers receive a fair price for the products they produce.
The bill on the supply chain of agricultural products and food, which aims to regulate trade practices and fair distribution of added value along the distribution chain, was presented on March 17.
According to Minister Tahov, amid all the economic and political uncertainty, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is trying to focus its efforts on supporting the development and potential of Bulgarian agricultural producers.
