The producers have requested that Sliven’s municipal authorities refuse to allow the sale to Tribul of land that could be used to build a factory.
A local consultant for Tribul, which was established by Greek company Tiras, insisted however that the proposed 15m levs (US$6.9m) factory would boost demand for milk through its exports to the EU, and thus bring new jobs.
