Bulgaria: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Bulgaria is a small but growing market for U.S. food and agricultural products. In 2019, total Bulgarian food and agricultural imports were valued at $3.7 billion, of which nearly 1.8 percent, or $64.3 million, were sourced from the United States. During the first eight months of 2020, total food and agricultural imports increased by 7.5 percent over the same period in 2019. Despite COVID-19 and the resulting economic slowdown, U.S. food and agricultural imports grew by 3.4 percent during the same period. U.S. products are increasingly popular in Bulgarian hotels, restaurants, retail outlets, and among food processors. Consumer-oriented products with strong market potential include distilled spirits, tree nuts, groundnuts, dried fruit, wine, beef, fish and seafood products, craft beer, food preparations, and innovative food processing ingredients.
