“We might not have come to general protest of farmers in Europe,” Minister of Agriculture and Foods, Desislava Taneva, said for BNT.

“Bulgaria placed its request for support of dairy sector last December, during the Council of Ministers, ahead of quota repeal, but their repeal would only have deepened the approaching crisis,” the Minister said.

“Milk price in Bulgaria in August was 23% lower compared to August last year. We have reached agreements backing general measures at every Agriculture and Fisheries Council since last December, but there was no result,” Minister Taneva specified.
