The article highlights the situation in the Vratsa region where the traditional increase in hay prices for the winter season is not observed due to an abundant supply and low demand. Farmers were able to stock up on hay by the end of summer, and the current price for an average bale of hay is about 4 levs, with larger ones costing 6 levs and alfalfa not exceeding 8 levs. The lack of fuel price impact on hay prices is attributed to the surplus of hay and the fact that people have stocked up on food for their animals. The current price per kilogram of hay is the same for both large and small bales, indicating fair market values, and wheat straw remains the cheapest.
