Bulgaria to export heat-treated poultry products in Argentina
In the next couple of months, Bulgaria may access the Argentinian market for heat-treated poultry, informs Novinite news agency. According to the source, Bulgaria has received a certificate for the export of heat-treated poultry products to Argentina. The certification procedure was launched in 2019. This transpired during a meeting between Minister of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Desislava Taneva and Argentina's Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Luis Basterra in Buenos Aires, said the press office of Bulgaria’s agriculture ministry, Focus News Agency reported. Minister Taneva was assured by her counterpart that Bulgaria would receive a certificate for fresh poultry meat as soon as possible.
During the meeting, the two ministers signed a declaration on cooperation in the field of agriculture and the promotion of bilateral agricultural trade.
