Bulgaria to be able to export dairy products to China this year: minister

Xinhua, January 12, 2016 Adjust font size:

Bulgarian minister of agriculture and food, Desislava Taneva, said here on Tuesday her country would be able to start exporting dairy products to China this year.

The approval procedure can be completed in the first half of this year, she said.

The visit to China last November by the Bulgarian government delegation led by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and conversations with the Chinese side there, led to this positive result, Taneva said.

The market potential is virtually boundless, and the role of governments is to make this trade possible, Taneva said.

She also said the Association for the Promotion of Agricultural Cooperation between China and the Central and Eastern European Countries (APACCCEEC), which was established at the intergovernmental level in Sofia last June, is of great benefit to her country.

"The most important is the prospect that the Chinese market gives us, namely, sustainable development, attraction of investment, and expansion of the production capacities," Vasil Gelev, Executive Director of APACCCEEC, told Xinhua in a recent interview. Endit
