The Sevlievo-based company ‘Deari Food Bulgaria’ is one of the producers mentioned in *Capital*’s weekly retail column, published on 28 October 2026.
According to the report, in 2008 the company employed 200 people and processed around 50 tonnes of raw milk per day. In 2026, during the peak season, daily processing stands at 200–250 tonnes.
The number of people employed at the company is now a quarter of what it was in 2008. Consequently, the volume of processing has increased several-fold, whilst the number of workers has fallen.
The data shows how a local food and beverage company is increasing production with far fewer staff. The figures relate to the peak season, not to the annual average.
What does that mean?
- The increase in production at the company is not linked to an increase in employment; on the contrary, the number of workers is about four times lower.
- The figures of 200–250 tonnes per day refer to the peak season and should not be taken as the average annual processing volume.
In numbers
- 200 workers in 2008
- 50 tonnes per day of milk processed in 2008
- 200–250 tonnes per day Processing during the peak season in 2026
- Four times fewer people in employment compared with 2008.
