The price of this year's cherry crop has risen fivefold as it travels from the garden to retail outlets. This became clear yesterday after the municipality of Kyustendil, which is the largest producer of small juicy fruit, launched a purchase campaign.
The initial purchase value of cherries amounts to about 50-60 stotinki per kilogram, and finally in the capital's supermarkets a kilogram of red wealth is offered at a price of about BGN 2.50-3.00.
However, the prices are far more affordable for the end user, given that a few days ago in Sofia a kilo of cherries in some places cost about 8-10 levs, and in Kyustendil and Blagoevgrad the price of delicious fruits was 5.00 levs / kg.
According to the traders, when the Kyustendil cherries flood the market, the price will fall additionally and then the value for the customers of the trade sites will be around BGN 1.50 per kilogram.
Despite their price, the native cherries certainly surpass the foreign ones in terms of taste, the consumers are categorical.
Fifteen days ago, early cherries began to be traded in the markets of the capital, the kilogram of which was traded for a price of BGN 8-10. They were classified by the sellers as Kyustendil cartilage. In itself, this outraged the people of Kyustendil working in Sofia, because according to them such a variety does not exist.
Due to the lower temperatures this spring, even the cherries of the famous May 11 variety appeared much later. The sellers, in their attempt to earn another lev on top, separate the larger fruits from the less attractive ones.
Meanwhile, farmers in the Kyustendil region are dissatisfied with the fact that the purchase price of cherries in the region is very low. In 2014, the purchase value per kilogram of red fruits from this region started from BGN 0.60. Now the price will probably be the same, if not lower.
I myself handed over two boxes of cherries picked from my garden. They buy them for 50 stotinki, which is very low in price, said the mayor of the village of Topolchane, Sliven region, Veselina Kalcheva.
Kalcheva says that a total of three points for buying juicy fruits have been organized there. The other producers were also dissatisfied with the price of their harvest, but since they had no alternative, they resigned themselves to it.
