Bulgaria is experiencing a raw material shortage, specifically milk, due to reduced herds by livestock farmers. This shortage has led to interest in Ukrainian milk and raw materials for import. Ukrainian milk processors and producers are planning to increase exports to Bulgaria. The situation in Bulgaria is further complicated by higher prices and lower quantities of fresh milk available from local farmers. The meeting in Veliko Tarnovo was aimed at establishing contacts for future cooperation, which includes Ukrainians importing raw materials for Bulgarian dairy production.
