Bulgarian grain producers have launched a protest. With over 50 tractors, farmers from the regions of Ruse, Pleven and Veliko Tarnovo briefly blocked the Ruse-Pleven road near the village of Gorna Studena.
Duty-free imports of wheat and sunflower from Ukraine would lead to bankruptcies of agricultural cooperatives because lower prices make Bulgarian production noncompetitive, the protesters said. They also call for postponing the strategic plan in agriculture, as they would lose vital European subsidies.
