The unfavorable meteorological conditions observed since the beginning of the summer managed to have a negative effect on a large part of the agricultural production.
Unfortunately, the grapes were also not spared by heavy rains and hail. So bad weather inevitably left an imprint on the quantity of the harvest and its quality. However, will this affect the price of domestic wine?
Despite the bad weather in some parts of the country, there is still hope for a good harvest. At the moment, a sharp rise in the price of Bulgarian wine is not expected, commented the head of the Executive Agency for Vineyards and Wine Krassimir Koev, quoted by DariknewsBg.
Koev believes that despite the bad weather this summer, the situation is not so critical at the moment. According to him, the harvest is completely lost only where the hail has completely ruined both the fruit and the leaves of the grapes. Fortunately, however, such areas are not large.
The damage caused by time is not on huge areas. The affected areas are from 50 to 150 acres. As not all of them were completely destroyed, commented the head of the Executive Agency for Vineyards.
He does not predict a big jump in the prices of Bulgarian wine, but he did not hide that this year the wine producers in our country had higher costs compared to the previous year.

Food Will Not Become More Expensive For The Holidays
The chairman of the State Commission on Commodity Exchanges and Markets Eduard Stoychev said that food prices will not rise as the holidays approach, as was the case last year.

Tomatoes And Potatoes Have Become More Expensive, Salads Have Become Cheaper
There is a decrease in prices for eggs and fresh green salads after the Easter holidays, according to the State Commission on Commodity Exchanges and Markets. There are two objective reasons for this - on the one hand, most of the retail chains woke up with large unsold quantities of these products, which forced them to lower their prices so that they could sell them before their expiration date.
Bulgarian Beans Have Become More Expensive Than Meat
Christmas fasts and the traditional table for Christmas Eve this year will be quite salty for Bulgarians, as the price of Bulgarian beans exceeded that of chicken. Smilyan beans and peeled beans reached prices of between BGN 10 and 12 per kilogram at retail, which exceeded the price of chicken meat and caught up with better quality beef and pork.
