The long-promised modernisation of the production facilities of Bulgaria's only state-owned milk processing company, LB Bulgaricum in Vidin, is about to begin. The Ministry of Economy announced that the modernisation of the production base would be carried out in phases.

In early September, amid rumours of the plant's possible closure, Economy Minister Petko Nikolov visited the Vidin plant and said that its development was a top priority for the ministry.
