Wild duckweed mushrooms have reached record levels in the wholesale market. At the moment they are trading for BGN 5 per kilogram on the markets in Smolyan region, and last year their price did not exceed BGN 3.

Pickers blame last week's rain for higher prices. They say that due to the bad weather they did not go out to pick the yellow mushroom and as the amount of it decreased, the buying points raised the values.

At the beginning of the purchase campaign the mushroom chanterelle was sold for BGN 12 per kilogram, but it was expected that with the approach of summer the prices would fall to the normal values for the season of about BGN 3 per kilogram.

When the harvest increases, the price must fall. The quantity of harvested mushrooms is still low, say the wholesalers in our country. The delicacy oak costs 10 leva per kilogram.

Recently, engineer Julian Kolev - chairman of the Association of Processors of Wild Mushrooms and Fruits, told Novinar that only 1% of the collected Bulgarian mushrooms remain in the country.

The vast majority of them go for export mainly to Germany, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands. The export of mushrooms and crow's feet is large, and the yields of the spruce mushroom go entirely to the markets abroad.

According to Kolev, the Bulgarian mushrooms we put on our table are mostly canned or dried. The expert explains this trend by the fact that mushrooms are not one of the most sought after goods in our country and a small part of our people buy them often or in large quantities.

The markets in our country need more fruits and vegetables, because that is the demand.

According to buyers, this year there is a real boom in the harvest of wild strawberries. Pickers receive BGN 12 per kilogram of fruit, and many hotels and restaurants also buy strawberries directly, offering BGN 15 per kilogram.
