Niche Products Look to be the Future for Slovenian Agriculture

Ljubljana, 28 December - EU membership will create new opportunities for the agriculture sector, just like to the economy and society in general, Agriculture Minister Franci But underlined in an interview for STA. Whereas But is upbeat about the prospects of Slovenian farmers succeeding in the EU by looking for market niches, the chairman of the Agriculture Chamber (KGZS) Peter Vrisk highlights that the agriculture sector in the country still lags behind that in Europe, meaning that it will face significant difficulties in adjusting to EU competition.
