Bulgaria: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Government of Bulgaria (GOB) continues to oppose agricultural biotechnology and generally advocates for anti-biotech policies within the European Commission (EC). Non-governmental antibiotech organizations (some of which are funded directly by the EC), local activists, and Bulgaria’s organics industry actively spread nonscientific disinformation in Bulgaria about biotechnology, as well as regularly protest its use in agriculture. Bulgaria’s poultry, dairy and livestock stakeholders continue to import biotech-derived feed ingredients.
