There are already three farmers' markets in the capital - at the Roman Wall, Ivan Vazov, and recently in Zaimov Park, where agricultural producers conduct direct sales. For about two years, on the initiatives of specialists from "Hrankoop", farmers' markets began to be held weekly on a specific day in Plovdiv, Sofia, Burgas, and recently in Varna. The event organizer is the association "For the Land". Within the festival on Friday, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy will be presented and issues regarding Regulation 26 on direct sales of farm products will be discussed.
