Nearly 20 percent of the eggs in the trade network of our neighbor Greece are harvested in Bulgaria. This was announced by the chairman of the chairman of the poultry farmers in our country - Ivaylo Galabov.
According to him, not only the Greek resorts located near our country rely on the export of Bulgarian eggs, but most of the chains in our southern neighbor have contracts with Bulgarian producers.
Galabov adds that the prices of eggs in Bulgaria are one of the lowest in the European Union. Their values are similar only in Poland, Belgium and Romania.
At the moment the price of one egg in our country is on average 8 euro cents, not counting the costs of transport and packaging. If consumers buy eggs from retail chains, these services are included in the final price and, accordingly, it is higher.
In the last week there has been a decline of about 1% in wholesale egg prices, but according to Galabov such a decrease is normal for this time of year.
Fresh eggs are sold in Bulgarian shops. By marking eggs it becomes clear how long they are suitable and what is their origin - says the chairman of the poultry farmers about the quality of eggs in our country.
Galabov appeals to consumers to look for Bulgarian goods first, as in this way they stimulate domestic producers. Poultry farmers in our country have enough resources to meet market demand.
According to the expert's observations, until last year the industry suffered from smuggled eggs, but the data from the beginning of this year show that the unregulated activity has significantly reduced its scale.
In 2011, many Bulgarian farms were closed because they did not meet European requirements for the production of eggs and poultry products. On the other hand, the share of modernized farms has increased.
Poultry farmers rely mainly on EU programs to modernize their farms so that they are competitive with the rest of Western Europe, says Ivaylo Galabov in his conclusion.
