The State Fund 'Agriculture' in Bulgaria has allocated BGN 2 million to support rose growers, as part of a larger BGN 85 million allocation for the agricultural sector to mitigate the economic impact of COVID-19. This aid, announced by the European Commission in July, will be a reimbursement for the costs incurred in producing oil-bearing rose flowers. The support is open to registered farmers and SMEs that have not sold their roses for processing this year, and they can receive up to BGN 100 per decare as a direct grant, covering part of the production costs until the 2021 harvest.
