Bulgarian grain producers dumped a trailer full of sunflower seeds on the road leading to the border crossing near the village of Kardam. Dozens of trucks, most of them Ukrainian and Moldovan, were thus blocked on the third day of the ongoing protest on March 31.

According to them, more than 980,000 tonnes of sunflower seeds have been imported into the country under the EU-approved duty-free grain corridor, which has remained in the country for processing rather than being exported. In the meantime, Bulgarian production is lying in silos.

Farmers are again demanding that domestic production be protected and that Bulgarian production be sold at fair prices. The board of the National Association of Grain Producers will hold a meeting on 4 April to decide whether to support the protests of their colleagues in Romania.
