Bulgaria Agri Minister: The losses for the agricultural sector and the food industries are 400 mil. Lev since the implementation of the Russian embargo until May 2016

According to the data from the end of May the losses for the Bulgarian food industry and the agricultural sector since the beginning of the Russian embargo i.e. from 2014 to May 2016 amounted to 400 million levs. That is what Minister of Agriculture and Food Desislava Taneva said in "Denyat Zapochva s George Lyubenov" on BNT. “The loss rate is higher in the dairy sector – more than 220 million. Two factors coincided that led to this crisis – for two years there is no European solution to change the balance and to stabilize the prices. And the abolition of milk quotas from April 1, 2014. The both factors led to an increased pressure on the prices” she said.
Speaking about Brexit the minister said that the Bulgarian agricultural trade with the UK is always with a positive trade balance. “For the last year it was 44 mln. Euros. Around a third of the exports to the United Kingdom are grain - mainly sunflower and corn, followed by poultry and daily products”, explained Minister Taneva and added that the leadership of the EU should understand that the result of the Brexit referendum is an evaluation of the way it is managed.
“I call for an extreme reduction of the bureaucracy in respect of the numerous bodies that manage or control the various sectors. For more effective decision making especially about the objectives, strategies and policies we must follow and not to respond to the events that occur and to seek solution post factum, "said Desislava Taneva. “I am referring to the crisis in the dairy sector. For a second year we are following an event still without adequate solution”, she added. . “In UK’s own interest is to leave the possibility for hire of agricultural workers, not to mention the crisis of recruitment in the sector "Agriculture" is large, including in Bulgaria, "said Agriculture Minister.
