Tridge summary

The article highlights the challenges faced by fruit growers in Bulgaria, including increased costs and difficult market conditions. Despite higher production figures for several crops, such as plums, raspberries, pears, apples, and peaches, and larger harvested areas, the market crashes due to abundant production in southern neighbors.
