Specialists in the field of trade announced that a serious shortage of Bulgarian parsley and mint, as well as other herbs and spices was registered on the domestic markets.

Observations are clear that the markets lack the most used herbs and spices from Bulgarian producers. Most of the spices offered are imported.

Green merudia is imported mainly from Africa, parsley, mint and dill are bought mainly from Egypt, and other traditional spices, which are typical for most Bulgarian dishes, are imported from China.

Parsley and mint, for which there are conditions to grow in Bulgaria, are imported, and buyers say they are very surprised by this fact.

Other fresh spices such as dill and basil are also not home-grown.

Experts explain that the main problem with the trade in Bulgarian spices is that there are no producers.

On the other hand, vegetable growers explain that they avoid growing parsley, mint, dill and other fresh spices and herbs because their purchase price is very low.

Imported green merudia arrive at very low values and undercut the prices of Bulgarian production.

Herbalist Emil Elmazov says he has been trying to open an herbal pharmacy for years, but has failed because of the high fees that pharmacists charge him to work with them.

The herbalist reveals that chamomile and herbal remedies in domestic markets are also imported, most of which are marketed from Egypt.

On the other hand, according to Eurostat data, there are also our spices that are successfully sold abroad.

Statistics show that in 2012 we sold over 30 thousand tons of cumin, cumin and coriander to foreign markets.

Research has shown that 90% of the fruits and vegetables we buy are also imported. Potatoes come from Germany, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland, peppers and tomatoes - from Spain, lettuce - from Italy, and fruits in domestic markets are imported mainly from Greece, Turkey, Macedonia and Serbia.
