„The price of eggs fell down by BGN 0.10, according to data of AMIS," said Minister of Agriculture and Food Dr. Miroslav Naydenov in Vratsa. When I met with egg producers they promised me that the week before Easter the egg price will decrease, this is already a fact and eggs with price below BGN 0. 30 could be found in the commercial chain, he added.
Minister Naydenov particularized that the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency constantly makes checks and in case that any eggs that do not comply with the requirement will be found, the agency will be uncompromising to the chain no matter what is it. He once again confirmed that it is not a job of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to control prices, but when people need the government to oppose the cartel agreements, it will.
Regarding the upcoming Easter holidays Minister added that BFSA will continue to perform inspections of lamb, eggs and Easter cakes.
