The chain also reports a serious growth of the Bulgarian manufacturers - 31 suppliers have produced 87 items as part of the Rodna Stryha product line.
These results were presented yesterday by Milena Dragiyska-Dencheva, Chief Executive Officer of Lidl Bulgaria, Minister of Agriculture and Food Rumen Porozhanov, President of the National Branch Union of Bakers and Confectioners Mariana Kukusheva and Chairman of the Board of the National Wine Chamber Radoslav Radev.
