Tridge summary

The Bulgarian Pepper Association is seeking between BGN 5-6 million to compensate for the damage caused by a hailstorm in the municipality of Kaloyanovo, which has affected around 2500-3000 decares of peppers and other vegetables. The hail damage, which occurred despite efforts to sow with more expensive hybrid seeds, has led to a loss of 80-100% of some pepper crops and 50% of others, with the season now lost for vegetable growers. The producers are concerned that the damage may be underestimated during inspections and feel betrayed, as they believe the loss is due to a state ban on rocket launches that failed to protect the fields.
