On a daily basis, Bulgaria is importing 100 tons of blue plums from Macedonia at a price of BGN 0.40/kg, according to Todor Djikov, Acting Deputy Minister of Agriculture. To ensure the fruit's quality, the ministry will conduct self-referral checks for its condition, pesticide residues, and heavy metals.
