Bulgaria poised for dairy promotion blitz

The president of Bulgaria's Association of Dairy Processors says her body has secured EU funding to promote dairy products in Spain, Russia and Brazil.

Dilyana Slavova said the fact that many Bulgarian and Balkan immigrants lived in Spain meant the country was an attractive market; he added that Russia had been an important market in times past, while Brazil presented new opportunities.

Various types of Bulgarian cheese (including white and yellow) and yogurt will be advertised during the campaign. Existing dairy export markets for the country include Australia, the US and the Middle East.
