Old Polish apples conquer Bulgaria’s market

Cheap Polish apples imported at a price of 6 Eurocents per kilogram have been conquering the Bulgarian market and ruining the business of the local apple producers, Bulgarian farmers alarmed in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio. The apples were picked in 2015. Large quantities of that produce had to be sold on the Russian market, but due to the embargo they are now offered at low prices on the Bulgarian market instead. Most of those apples are expected to be processed, but some are still sold by the large retail chains in Bulgaria. Our colleagues abroad receive enough state subsidies, so they can sell their produce on very low prices and we aren’t able to compete with them, Bulgarian farmers further commented.
