In an interview for Nova TV Bulgaria’s Minister of Agriculture and Food Desislava Taneva called on the consumers to choose Bulgarian products in support of the local producers. The crisis in the dairy sector in the EU continues for a second consecutive month. That is why Bulgaria makes huge efforts to avoid the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Bulgarian dairy sector, Minister Taneva said. One of the measures envisages communication with the large retail chains as a major channel for supply of foodstuffs, in order to offer real dairy products made from milk from Bulgarian farms, Desislava Taneva added.

Minister Taneva reminded that a decree of the Council of Ministers requiring the retail chains to offer on their shelves Bulgarian products from local producers enters in force.
