   The approved budget under the scheme for 2020 by the Managing Board of the State Fund of Agriculture is BGN 1 452 500. It will finance the commitments made under concluded contracts from 2019 amounting to nearly 720 thousand BGN, as well as the approved projects from the forthcoming new State aid scheme for 2020.
