In a bid to support its agricultural sector amidst the ongoing tensions stemming from Russia's war against Ukraine, Bulgaria announces a significant aid package for farmers
Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture will provide fuel discount vouchers to farmers from 16 May to 20 June, 2014.
The vouchers will grant BGN 0.31 discount per liter, Bulgarian Dnevnik informs. A total of 18,234 declarations for a projected total amount of 270M tonnes of diesel oil have been filed by end-February. The state aid comes up to BGN 84M, and the reduced excise duty on the part of the state is 50%.
