Raspberry and strawberry producers in Bulgaria are threatened with bankruptcy because of the triple increase in the price of irrigation water. This became clear this week and was followed by urgent meetings of the government with the sector. Raspberry, blackberry and strawberry growers were joined by grain growers also.
Aikhan Shakhimov is the largest producer of raspberries and strawberries in Northern Bulgaria. “The increase in the price of water for irrigation is about 300-350%. With these water prices, we are on the verge of whether to produce or not,” he said.
