Issues
- Sunflowers are probably the best option for Bulgarian farmers because of the regional market in Turkey, but rapeseed production is expected to increase with assistance in the form of seeds from Germany. Soybeans are probably not going to be a good crop because of the climate. (Source: USDA GAIN Report)
- As of late 2006, the Bulgarian government was preparing necessary EU-harmonized legislation to establish a regulatory framework for biofuels. (Source: USDA GAIN Report)
