The Ministry of Agriculture and Food will officially present the finished bill on the agri-food chain on Monday. Its goal is to shorten the path of production - from the producer to the chains. This was announced by the deputy minister responsible, Lozana Vasileva. A ceiling on the mark-ups to which both producers and traders are entitled is planned.
The law is expected to affect prices in the retail network.
The Ministry of Agriculture launched the explanatory campaign for direct payments to farmers on Monday in Plovdiv. 1.4 billion leva are planned under the investment program.
Vasileva said that farmers must receive a fair price. She also added that 12 more adoptions of investment measures for nearly 2 billion leva are expected by the end of the year.
