Jordan interested in increasing imports of Bulgarian foods and textiles

Jordan's state-run Civil Service Consumer Corporation is aiming to complete contracts with Bulgarian companies to import food and textiles, the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) said in a statement, quoted by Investor.bg

The food manufacturing and processing industry in Bulgaria has been of serious interest to Jordan, in particular fresh and frozen meat, oils, milk, honey and canned food but the Jordanians have also expressed interest in textiles, clothing and shoes.

The Jordanian corporation and the BCCI are set to meet on October 22 2009, along with major representatives from the Bulgarian business sector, Investor.bg reported.

The Civil Service Consumer Corporation is entrusted with the supply of "diversified foods and goods"; the company has been involved in previous deals between Bulgaria and Jordan. Details regarding the financial scale of the joint venture will become apparent  after the conference.

Saturday Blog: If only God was Bulgarian

Economy Minister Petar Dimitrov delivered one of the quotes of the year so far when he put his faith in God to improve the standard of living in Bulgaria. Talking to reporters in Varna this week, he said: "If God turns out to be Bulgarian, we will be living better years from now". It would take nothing short of divine intervention to accomplish the scenario he was talking about - Bulgaria catching up with the rest of the European Union. It would take a mere decade for Bulgaria to accomplish that, provided that its economy grew by 15 per cent in that time, while the rest of the EU trudged along at a pedestrian rate of two per cent, according to Dimitrov.
