Kaufland Bulgaria local agricultural supply chain

Overview

Kaufland Bulgaria has established a strong supply chain focused on domestic agricultural products. The retailer reports that over 96% of its fresh herbs are sourced from local producers, with plans to increase herb deliveries to over 2.7 million units in 2026. Key suppliers include family farms in the Plovdiv region, such as Agro Lux 2014 and Bul Fruit, which operate under a contracted-purchase programme.

Supporting this local sourcing is a central logistics hub in Stryama. This warehouse facilitates the rapid distribution of perishable goods, such as tomatoes, salads, and herbs, allowing produce to reach various parts of the country within 24 hours of harvest. The efficient supply chain has significantly impacted local businesses, with some producers reporting a 30-fold increase in turnover over a 20-year period.
