The Council of Ministers adopted an order to establish a sole-proprietorship company with state participation in the capital - "Shop for the People" EAD, headquartered in Sofia.
A decree was also approved to approve changes to the budget of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food for 2025 in connection with the establishment of the company.
The scope of activity of "Shop for the People" EAD is to carry out trade in food and industrial goods admitted to the Bulgarian market, with priority being given to products from Bulgarian producers.
The company will also carry out ancillary activities related to its main commercial function, as well as other activities not prohibited by law.
The company's goal is to provide priority access to Bulgarian goods at affordable prices for consumers and for socially oriented trade, especially in smaller settlements. It is expected to reduce dependence on imported goods on the Bulgarian market.
