The Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Georgi Takhov, officially approved the amount of financial compensation for corn farmers. Experts from the ministry calculated the support at 41.68 leva per hectare of cultivated land.

Statistical data shows that a total of 511,374 hectares were declared for support by agricultural producers. The State Fund "Agriculture" will distribute additional national funding of exactly 21,314,082 leva.

We recall that in April 2025, an initial payment was already made from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. This new financial initiative aims to provide direct support to producers affected by extreme climatic conditions in 2024.
