Only one third of the fish consumed in our country is from the native Black Sea coast. The only entirely Bulgarian product is turbot.
70% of horse mackerel in sea traps is imported. He, along with sea bass and bream come from our southern neighbors. Seafood is imported from Turkey, Greece and Norway. Mackerel and hake come from Norway again. The cheap pangasius comes from distant Vietnam.
The Black Sea Sunrise Fishermen's Association explained that the reason for the huge amount of imported products is the shortage. Bulgarian fishermen take out goods that immediately go to restaurants by the sea and are extremely insufficient. Therefore, imports are many times higher than domestic production. Today, Bulgarian fishermen catch mullet in the north, and soon passages of black grouse and horse mackerel are expected. In the south, it relies mainly on sprats.
Prices of fish products have not risen, especially during the summer season. Anchovies and sprats are sold at BGN 3 per kilogram, while chamomile is at twice the price.
Mullet varies from BGN 3.50 to BGN 5 per kilogram, mackerel for BGN 5.50 and horse mackerel for BGN 6. Higher prices presumably keep the shark - BGN 10, the black grouse - BGN 14, the sea bass and the bream - for BGN 10, as well as the lefer - for BGN 18. The turbot is again the most expensive, with a price of BGN 28 per kilogram.

We Eat Almost 3 Times Less Chocolate Than Europeans
In 2017, Bulgarians ate 25 tons of chocolate, which makes an average of 3.5 kg per person. This is shown by the data from the production survey and consumption of chocolate conducted by Eurostat. While every day a Bulgarian eats between 20 and 50 grams of chocolate, the daily consumption of Europeans is on average between 30 and 90 grams.
From Next Year We Will Eat Imported Milk
Cheap milk imports will flood domestic markets after April 1, 2015, when quotas for raw material production in the European Union expire. This will significantly reduce domestic production. Bulgarian farmers are worried that the quotas that have so far regulated the milk market will lead to a serious reduction in the price of dairy products imported from abroad, which will shrink domestic production.
