Danger looms over some of the most delicious Bulgarian vegetables. It's about tomatoes from variety Ideal, as well as for the Kurtov Gate, which are endangered.
The increased import of seeds has led to the preparation of a list of Bulgarian varieties, which are not so well known lately, but remain valuable for agriculture. The idea is that in the next programming period their breeding will be subsidized with funds from Europe.
Bulgarian consumers continue to hold on to domestic production, but unfortunately, producers prefer to procure foreign seeds, as it is more profitable for them. Among these producers is Iliya Stanev.
The man explains that he opted for Dutch seed potatoes, as the yield is five times higher than for Bulgarian potatoes.
We do not have a good selection. The old varieties such as sante, agria have disappeared, Iliya Stanev commented to BNT.
One of the main custodians of the already rare Bulgarian vegetable varieties is the Maritsa Institute of Vegetable Crops. From there they give encouraging forecasts.
According to experts, for five years the trend is to return the old varieties, but also to use them in the development of new ones.
Bulgaria is unique with its genetic plasma in vegetable production and fruit growing and perhaps this is one of the reasons to allocate funds to preserve this genetic plasma, said Prof. Stoyka Masheva, director of IZK Maritsa.
Earlier this year, a blacklist of endangered Bulgarian varieties appeared. In addition to the Ideal tomato and the Kurtovska kapia, there are also Kyose cabbage, Asenovgradska kaba onion, Kyustendil cartilage, Petrovka apple, yellow and red dzhanka, Petrich and Sliven peaches, grapes of the Kehlibar and Chaush varieties and many other varieties.
However, the Maritsa Institute reassures that there are no varieties that have disappeared forever, as breeders are involved in maintaining the gene bank.
The experts also clarified that the use of Bulgarian seeds is not a valid reason to increase the price of the product, as domestic seeds were significantly cheaper than foreign ones.
