CAP, grain production, legislation, EU fundsAbstract
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the link between agriculture and society, between Europe and its farmers. The CAP is based on three fundamental principles: free trade within the Community based on common prices, preferences for European production on Community markets, and common financial responsibility.
Agricultural production constitutes a significant part of Bulgarian exports, with cereals accounting for a high share of around 77% of total exports. The main cereal crop in Bulgaria is wheat. The aim of the report is to examine the main forms of subsidizing grain production in Bulgaria and legislation.
