The people from the Rhodopean village of Osikovo are happy with this year's strawberry harvest. Almost all the produce of the producers has been bought, and there is no house left in the village in which the small fragrant fruits are not grown. The mayor of Osikovo - Velin Paligorov introduced us to this information.
The strawberry harvest in the village ended recently, and Mayor Paligorov announced that the prices at which the fragrant red fruits were bought are very good. They ranged from BGN 2.50 to BGN 3.20 per kilogram of fruit.
When strawberries are not enough for sale or are unfit, most producers prefer to make strawberry brandy, the mayor added. Every year in the middle of summer, on August 15, a strawberry festival is organized in the village.
In the village of Devin there are also foreigners who are engaged in and earn a living from agriculture. One of them is Kenneth Moricand - a Cameroonian who is a student in Bulgaria and who also grows strawberries in Osikovo.
Kenneth came to Bulgaria with his Ukrainian wife, who grows strawberries in the village but lives in Plovdiv. The family is extremely hardworking and Kenneth is not afraid of the difficulty of agricultural work, the mayor said. The Cameroonian started growing strawberries in Osikovo about three years ago, and today he has three acres to take care of.
The mayor also said that this year four families from Osikovo tried to grow cherries. However, the purchase price was quite low - the highest price at which the cherries were bought was 60 stotinki per kilogram of fruit.
Strawberry growers in the village have decided to start producing blackberries. These fruits have a high price, and in addition, the resellers of strawberries promised to buy blackberries at a price of six levs per kilo.
There are also several families in the village that grow raspberries, the mayor added, and the price of these fruits reaches three levs per kilogram.
People are trying to develop and find new niches in the market, but for Aspen people the main livelihood remains the cultivation of strawberries. The mayor explains that if it were not for the production of red aromatic fruits, the village probably would not have it.
