Bulgaria conquers China with own goods
Wine, honey and products of Bulgarian rose oil are about to conquer the Chinese market, while Chinese are increasingly choosing Bulgaria as a tourist destination.
"Despite the economic crisis that the world began to sink in 2008, trade between China and Bulgaria increased. Just for last year, it is worth nearly $ 2 billion, while Bulgarian exports to China grew by more than 80%. In this way China's trade with Bulgaria is on the second place, the countries outside the European Union", said to Nova TV Kehua Yuan, commercial counselor at the Chinese Embassy.
From the Chinese Embassy in Bulgaria give increased interest in Bulgaria to the fact that both sides are perfectly complementary in economic terms. 30 years after its opening to the world, the Republic of China is the country's gained vast experience in the field of technology.
What Bulgaria is interesting with is geographic location, membership in the European Union and high quality goods at low prices. China's interest is mainly directed to the native wine, honey, sunflower oil, as well as products of Bulgarian rose oil.
"The products of rose oil are valued greatly in China because of their specificity. As for the wine, all my countrymen who have tried it are of the opinion that despite the lower price, the quality is not worse than the Italian or French. In order to meet the needs of the huge Chinese market, importing from China asks the Bulgarian wine producer if he could redeem his entire output. Now waiting for a response", says Kehua.
To strengthen the partnership between the two countries have recently been conducted business forums involving hundreds of Chinese and Bulgarian entrepreneurs. As a result, quite a few Chinese companies decided to start production in the country.
An interesting fact is the desire of more and more Chinese people to have a holiday in Bulgaria. To allow Bulgaria to begin to meet large groups of Chinese tourists, however, first it must be considered easing the visa regime, explained by the embassy.
Another important point is to provide convenient air transport of tourists from China, and provide adequate transportation from the airport to the hotels and tourist sites after arriving in Bulgaria.
Infrastructure improvement is also essential. On the Bulgarian-Chinese Business Forum have been discussed those issues.
