This autumn, Bulgarian apples are expected to have much lower prices than usual, because there will be a strong import of the fruit from Poland due to the imposed Russian embargo.
In order to be able to market their products, producers will be forced to lower the prices of apples by up to 30%, as imported fruit is much cheaper.
Polish apples are heavily subsidized, so Bulgarian production is under pressure and therefore lowers prices. However, the market situation will be beneficial for consumers in our country, as it is expected this fall to buy apples at much lower prices.
Before Russia imposed an embargo on European goods, every second apple on the Russian market was Polish. Now, however, this production will flood our markets.
Krassimir Kunchev, who is a producer of fruits and vegetables from the Plovdiv village of Trilistnik, told Darik Radio that this year he is selling apples for 70 stotinki per kilogram wholesale.
This means that in the domestic retail markets the kilogram of fruit should be between BGN 1 and BGN 1.20. In some places, however, a kilo of apples reaches 1.60 leva.
This year, the apples also suffered from torrential rains in the country. Due to the bad weather conditions, the apple producers in our country report large losses.
Harvesting has already begun, but farmers say yields will be very low this year.
Todor Mitev, who is a producer from the region of the town of Byala, grows 6 decares of orchards. The farmer has lost about 60% of his apple harvest this year and will sell about 40% on the market, which is about 3 tons of apples.
Low-quality apples in Vratsa are bought for 20 stotinki per kilogram, and high-quality apples - between 60 and 80 stotinki per kilogram wholesale.
According to the farmers, at these prices and with a subsidy of only BGN 30 per decare, the farmers will register huge losses. Apart from barely covering their costs, there will be no funds left for farmers for future agro-technical activities.
