Milk Producers/Processors Meeting.

Dimitrov met with milk producers and processors in Sofia in early September. The meeting discussed problems in the sector and the pricing policies of producers and traders.

It was agreed that within a month, proposals will be made concerning policy changes and legislative revisions that will give the government greater powers to suppress price speculation and "shadow" prices in the dairy industry, said BTA. Two problems mentioned as facing the industry were illegal purchase of unprocessed Bulgarian milk and labour shortages.
