Poland is about to become another country that will pay license fees to Bulgaria for the right to produce Bulgarian yoghurt. This became clear during a meeting between the Executive Director of "LB Bulgaricum" Vladimir Rusev and the Chairman of the Management Board of "Milk" Dariush Sapisnki. It is the largest Polish dairy company, as well as the largest private company in the country's food industry at all.

"For 50 years, millions of Japanese people have been starting their day with Bulgarian yoghurt, and this year we started a similar partnership with Mongolia," said Vladimir Rusev. He explained that in recent months the market share of the state-owned dairy company in Bulgaria has increased sharply as their products are already available in over 100 stores. "In the past, dozens of countries have worked with Bulgaria to exploit our unique bacterium. We are motivated today to bring these traditions back and we are glad that Poland is on its way to becoming another strategic partner," said the CEO of LB.

The company "Milk" is interested in signing a license agreement under which to produce yogurt in their own factories, using the Bulgarian bacteria "lactobacillus bulgaricus" and "streptococcus thermophilus". Experts from the research units of the two companies discussed the quality characteristics of the starter culture and the final product, as well as some technological details of the production process. The details of a future agreement are to be finalized, and the Polish side will be invited to visit Bulgaria within a month for its official signing.
