Bulgaria's wine exports have significantly declined over the past two decades, with its share of total EC27 exports falling from 2.3% in 2005 to 0.2% in 2022, according to the Bulgarian Economic Chamber (BCK). The country's wine exports have decreased from 86.5 million euros in 2007 to 16.8 million euros in 2022. In contrast, North Macedonia now exports nearly four times more wine than Bulgaria. The BCK attributes this decline to domestic issues and calls for immediate and radical political and economic changes.
