Balgarianovinite.com The Ministry of Agriculture and Food is working on specific measures to support the livestock sector and to accelerate reforms in irrigation, Minister Plamen Abrovski said during a working meeting with representatives of the Bulgarian Association of Agricultural Producers, the Agriculture Ministry press service reported on Tuesday. The agenda included opportunities to support the livestock sector, the development of irrigation, changes to the regulatory framework, and preparations for the future Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Representatives of the Bulgarian Association of Agricultural Producers identified the dire situation in the livestock sector as a priority issue. The problem is caused by increased imports of raw milk and low purchase prices for animal products. The association called for the development of emergency mechanisms to provide financial support to dairy farmers and other livestock producers in order to offset rising costs and to preserve production capacity. Agricultural producers also emphasized the need for a clear national strategy for the development of irrigation, as well as the need for more effective coordination among institutions on this matter.
Abrovski reported that steps have been taken to strengthen controls on raw milk imports. He added that his Ministry is working on establishing standards to guarantee the origin of Bulgarian milk, as well as on changes to the regulatory framework for dairy products.
Regarding food quality, Abrovski said that measures will be taken to ensure clearer labelling, so that consumers receive accurate information about the content and origin of products.
The Minister highlighted the development of irrigation as one of his team’s main priorities. He specified that work is proceeding in two main directions: securing investments for the restoration and modernization of infrastructure, and expediting procedures for issuing water abstraction permits. Discussions have taken place with the Ministry of Environment and Water to improve coordination between the institutions on this matter.
Abrovski stated that Bulgaria will insist that the oil-bearing rose be included among crops of special European significance, as well as on the creation of a separate financial resource dedicated to the development of rural municipalities, processing, and non-agricultural activities in rural areas.
Regarding the proposals for the next Multiannual Financial Framework and the future of the CAP after 2027, on June 4, Abrovski reported that at the next meeting of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council in Luxembourg, to be held at the end of June, he will propose that 10 to 25% of the funds in the overall European budget be allocated to agriculture.
