During a meeting of the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council in Brussels, Caretaker Minister of Agriculture and Food Georgi Tahov called for protective measures against the import of Ukrainian honey into Bulgaria. Romania supported Bulgaria’s call for regulation of Ukrainian honey, which enters the European market at very low prices and in significant quantities. This puts serious pressure on the prices of Bulgarian honey and complicates the marketing of local production. According to statistics, the quantity of honey imported from Ukraine to Bulgaria from January to October 2024 is more than 30% higher compared to the same period last year. The situation on the egg market in Bulgaria is similar due to the sharp increase in the imports of Ukrainian eggs.
During his visit to Brussels, at the invitation of the Minister of Agriculture of Hungary, Minister Tahov participated in a meeting with the agriculture ministers of Member States near the border with Ukraine and the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Vitaliy Koval. During the meeting, the ministers discussed the upcoming proposal by the European Commission to amend Article 29 of Ukrainе’s Association Agreement with EU.
