VOICED : EU funds feed Bulgarias grain millionaires

Bulgaria's agricultural boom, driven by EU farming aid, has led to the concentration of land and subsidies in the hands of a few large farmers, focusing on commodity crops. This has marginalized small traditional farmers, like Nadia Petkova, who struggle without machinery and support. The government has introduced a cap on EU subsidies and promised more aid for underdeveloped sectors, but experts doubt it will significantly help small growers.
