Bulgaria Poultry and Products Meat Market Update
By USDA Foreign Agricultural Service - As of mid-April, poultry suppliers and traders report a full restoration of poultry sales and consumption to the previous levels. In the period October 05-March 06, lower poultry meat consumption was unexpectedly substituted with higher purchases of processed meat products made of beef and turkey, and by higher sales of beef meat, with even or slightly lower pork sales. It remains to be seen if this new consumption pattern will stabilize throughout 2006.
