Bulgaria: Direct Versus Indirect Trade - Bulgaria's Hidden Market for US Ag Exports
The U.S. Census Bureau’s bulk, intermediate, and consumer oriented (BICO) export data tracks U.S. food and agriculture trade shipped directly to Bulgaria. However, it does not measure the substantial levels of the U.S. agricultural trade to Bulgaria routed through Western European ports of entry. According to BICO, U.S. suppliers exported $34.6 million of U.S. food and agriculture to Bulgaria in 2022, a growth of 23 percent compared to 2021. However, when including indirect shipments, the total number rises above $90 million. FAS/Sofia encourages USDA cooperators and other U.S. food and agricultural exporters and stakeholders to review different data sources when considering resource allocation and market development strategies for Bulgaria.
