Support for farmers and rural stakeholders under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Bulgaria is managed in the 2023-2027 period nationally through their CAP Strategic Plan (CSP), funded under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and national contributions.
The CAP 2023-2027 follows a performance and results-based approach built around ten objectives, which frame the EU countries’ CAP Strategic Plans. These combine targeted interventions addressing specific needs and delivering on EU-level objectives.
CSP Documents
The full CSP for Bulgaria can be found on the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Food website.
A short summary of the key points of the Bulgarian CSP is available on the CAP at a glance section of the European Commission website.
More information on the CAP is available in the CAP Overview section of the EU CAP Network website.
Bulgarian Network
The Bulgarian CAP Network is settled as a part of the Managing Authority (MA) in the Ministry of Agriculture. The newly appointed unit at the MA, at the central level, will be responsible for the administration, management and implementation of the activities and tasks of the Network, related to the achievement of the Network goals.
It will build a team of 4-5 persons from the MA and 28 regional coordinators, who will ensure a smooth transition and continuity with the achievements of the NRN Unit that previously ran the Network.
