2. Local consumption and processing of Bulgarian organic products

In the new EU‟s GAP programming period, significant attention is paid to products produced in compliance with all regulatory requirements for the production and processing of bio-products. In Bulgaria this type of production increases its number and relative importance for the development of its respective sub-sectors of Bulgarian agriculture.
The main purpose of this study is to analyze local markets for processed bio-products to assess the value added value chain in these specific industries.
To achieve its goal, the development will go through the following stages:
– Analysis of the dynamics in the development of Bulgarian organic production;
– Analysis of chains adding value to the processing of organic products in the country;
– Analysis of local consumption and processing of bio-products.
This study will assess the correlation between local production, processing and consumption of bio-products using centralized information sources.
