The costs per decare of agricultural production in the Fruits and Vegetables sector have increased by almost 100%.

These are observations of producers from Gotse Delchev, shared with BNT.

Ivan Sabahukov grows potatoes in the Blagoevgrad village of Hadjidimovo.

He is one of the few remaining large farmers in the region.

Most of those who grew tobacco en masse in previous years gave up, saying growing vegetables was not profitable for them.

"Currently, fertilizers, preparations and fuels are terribly expensive, and there is no help from anywhere, and we must note that potato production is set to be destroyed, which is disastrous. During a war, destroying an industry that contributes to feeding the population is deadly. ", he commented.

The manufacturer recommended that anyone who can sow their own potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables to mitigate inflation.

According to the manufacturer, the government's measures will not help, but will aggravate the situation.

"The increase in Bulgarian potatoes will be 100% compared to last year. Bulgarians must prepare for this, because we who work for it can not afford cheap products. We ourselves buy and produce very expensive," said Ivan Sabahukov.

Until last year, the subsidy for the production of potatoes is BGN 100 / decare, which does not cover any costs, he explained.

And as of this year, the European Union is banning subsidies because there is an overproduction of potatoes.

This is the reason why we have so many imported products.
