Consumers in our country this year will come to the account, preparing their winter food. The reason for this is the cheaper vegetables that are imported to our country, mainly from Poland, due to the imposed Russian embargo.
However, this does not reflect well on Bulgarian agriculture, which is suffering record losses this year. On the one hand, the native fruits and vegetables were affected by the torrential rains, and on the other hand, the unprecedented imports this year hindered the marketing of the products.
The abundance of cheap fruits and vegetables, which will not be sold on the Russian markets, will save money for the Bulgarians who prepare winter food.
The situation on the markets in our country has forced the local farmers to lower the previously announced price of fruits and vegetables in order to be able to sell this year's harvest.
Many Bulgarian producers are hoping for higher European subsidies to cover the costs, because they do not expect profits from their harvest this year.
However, the hosts in Bulgaria are enjoying the lower prices and hope that this year they will be able to fill the shelves with winter food.
However, canned food prepared from Bulgarian products will be 10-15% more expensive due to the lower yield of fruits and vegetables and their higher purchase price than last year.
In 2013, 150,000 tons of tomatoes were harvested in Bulgaria. This year the Bulgarian tomatoes on the markets are 75,000 tons. This determined the rise of their wholesale cent from 25 stotinki to 50 stotinki per kilogram.
Last year, only one in every hundred tomatoes we ate was grown abroad, and 99 - in Bulgaria. Now imports and domestic production are almost equal.
Sweet ones will also be more expensive, because the year was bad for cherries and sour cherries, and the apricots ran out quickly. For example, a jar of cherry jam, made in Bulgaria, of 314 grams will be about 30 cents more expensive than last year.
Currently, the direct damage from the Russian embargo is between BGN 5 and 10 million. The indirect effect of lost markets and unsold production cannot yet be estimated.
