Bulgarian fruit and vegetable cultivation in danger due to lack of labor and subsidies

The production of Bulgarian fruits and vegetables is in danger. According to data from the Agricultural Academy, presented by its chairman, Professor Martin Banov, only one-tenth of the arable land is cultivated with anything other than cereals at this point in time.

"85.5% of the factory is occupied by cereals, wheat, corn and sunflower and only 10.7% by other crops. This is one of the reasons why Bulgarian vegetables, Bulgarian fruits, Bulgarian potatoes are now hard to find in Bulgaria".

The reason for the refusal to produce fruits and vegetables is also the lack of labor, "because of all these crops falling into this 10.7% require less mechanization, more labor, and such is increasingly difficult to find." According to the scientists, urgent measures are needed.
