UNTIL MAY 20, FARMERS APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE FOR COVID DAMAGE

Until May 20, farmers can apply for support for damage caused by the Covid pandemic. Documents will be accepted by the municipal agricultural services. The budget is 143.5 million.

Livestock farmers will receive 79 million from the total budget. The rest of the money is for the producers of fruits, vegetables and oil-bearing roses.

The rates for individual animals and crops are also clear. The largest is the financial aid for beef cows under selection control - for them the farmers will receive BGN 198 per head. The support for the sheep is the least - 21 levs per head.

Beekeepers will receive BGN 13 per bee family. In crop production, the most serious is the aid for the greenhouse production of tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers in heated greenhouses - BGN 12,233 per hectare.

Wine grapes and rice receive the least aid - BGN 200 per hectare.

After the end of the acceptance of applications and distribution of the budget by sectors, in case there is a resource left, it will be redistributed with a coefficient in the respective direction. In case of shortage within the determined resource by sectors, the determined amount will be reduced. The Agriculture Fund has pledged Covid's support to be paid by June 15.
