In a first, the European Union will allocate next year funds to promote sheep and goat meat consumption, said Minister of Agriculture Petre Daea, who kicked off on Saturday in Sibiu the national campaign "Choose the sheep".
The Agriculture Minister announced a few days ago in Ploiesti that the EU will allocate six million euro to promote sheep and goat meat consumption.
One of the Sibiu hypermarkets has a promotional offer of sheep meat at a discount of 20 percent, said Daea.
The AgriMin, who was on a trip to Sibiu County to promote sheep farming and the use of sheep milk and wool, spoke on Saturday with local sheep breeders. He also received from ewe's milk cheese producers the documents for the 'telemea' Sibiu cheese to be awarded Protected Geographical Indication status. Daea was on the marketplace, tasted some Sibiu cheese, stopped in front of the mall where potted mutton was on offer, and also visited a wool carding mill in the Sadu commune. AGERPRES.
