Bulgaria: Organic Market Annual Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Consumer demand in Bulgaria for organic foods and beverages has grown in recent years due to economic stability, improved purchasing power, and growing popularity for products perceived as healthful. In 2018, organic food and beverage sales reached a record €30 million, with further sales growth expected in 2020 and 2021. Although demand growth for organic consumer-ready products will likely continue, Bulgarian organic farms and area planted in 2018 declined by 4 percent and about 6 percent, respectively. At the end of 2018, organic area (fully converted and under the conversion process) accounted for 2.56 percent of Bulgaria’s total agricultural area.
