The food that Bulgarians buy and consume is 65 percent foreign production. The forecasts are that next year the Bulgarian products on the market will be only 20 percent.
According to Dimitar Zorov - chairman of the Association of Dairy Producers in Bulgaria, domestic production is about to be completely destroyed. According to him, FOCUS News Agency in neighboring Romania has a better policy that protects local producers.
Romanians have also taken other anti-crisis measures - reducing food VAT from 24% to 9%. This will further stimulate purchasing power - Zorov commented to Focus.
The expert also says that the European products that are imported in our country have a practice of different name and labeling. This most often happens with semi-finished products, which are named as yellow cheese, intended for the Russian market before the embargo is imposed.
Attempts to compensate the milk processors in Bulgaria were unsuccessful, because when asked for additional support to producers, Europe responded that there is no crisis with milk in our country.
