The State Fund 'Agriculture' in Bulgaria has allocated a budget of 1.2 million levs for 2022 to provide state aid to farmers for their participation in the Quality Scheme for the production of seeds and propagating material. This aid is designed to promote the production and use of certified seeds for various crops and to support small and medium enterprises in plant growing. These businesses, which have received a permit for the production of sowing and planting material, can receive up to 100% state support for the certification costs of high quality seeds and planting material produced by them. The aid has been successfully utilized by 425 farmers in the recent years, with the total amount used in 2019, 2020, and 2021 being 1,100,608 levs, 1,152,670 levs, and 1,121,069 levs respectively.
