In response to a journalist's question why in recent months the price of pork has increased by 7.5% according to data from the Ministry of Economy, the Minister of Agriculture Kiril Vatev ruled out the possibility of speculation and stated that such a price rise was typical for the summer season and was related to increased costs.
In addition, the price has been affected by the Covid crisis, as well as the rise in fuel, electricity and feed prices caused by the war in Ukraine. According to the minister, a bigger problem that agriculture faces is that many farmers close their farms over losses and go abroad. Agriculture and food must become a priority sector for the country in order to stop the outflow of people, the minister says.
In this regard, the Ministry has started a series of Advisory Councils, the aim of which is to improve the interaction between the participants in the food chain from the field to the store and to increase the presence of Bulgarian products on the table.
