Simplified Organic Certification Procedure from 2026
The Ministry of Agriculture introduces a simplified procedure for organic certification. Reduced administrative burden for small producers.
Starting March 2026, a new simplified procedure for organic certification of agricultural products comes into effect. The changes primarily target small and medium producers, significantly reducing administrative burden and certification costs.
Key relief measures include group certification for small producers, extended certificate validity from 1 to 2 years for low-risk farms, and reduced inspection fees.
This is great news for Bulgarian organic producers, who often face high costs to maintain certification.
